The Cúram Data Mapping Engine (CDME) works with the Cúram Universal Access Portal to help citizens screen themselves for benefits. During the screening and intake process, a citizen will submit his or her information. CDME is responsible for converting the citizen's information into either a PDF application form (filled out with citizen's details) or a Cúram case with new evidence entities.
The CDME works as follows. When the citizen submits his or her information, that information gets stored in the Cúram Datastore (CDS). CDME reads the data and uses rules from a mapping specification to transform the data into something readable by an application builder. A PDF application builder uses mapping configuration to determine how the citizen's data will appear on a PDF application form. An evidence application builder uses a mapping configuration to call on the evidence API in order to create the new evidence entities for the new case.
