Learning about mapping

A Data Interchange Services client data transformation map ("DT map") relates a source document to a target document. In Data Interchange Services client, there are three types of documents: EDI, XML, and ROD. An EDI document can be a transaction such as a purchase order or an invoice in a format defined by a standards body such as X12 or EDIFACT. An XML document can be any type of information encoded using Extensible Markup Language tags according to an XML schema or DTD. A Record Oriented Data (ROD) document can be one of many types of formats used by data processing applications.
