Developers can use the logical data map as the requirements specification for writing mapping specifications and mapping configurations. A mapping specification describes how to map data stored in a particular structure to a different one. Every mapping specification refers to a source, where the data is coming from, and a target, where the data is going to.
While the mapping specification contains the rules required to transform the data from one form to another, more information is required to turn the transformed data into case evidence or completed PDF application forms. This additional information is supplied in the mapping configuration. This chapter provides examples on how to write mapping specifications and mapping configurations.
