Mapping EDOC to Web Services using YATL

Modeling is a technique used extensively in industry to define software systems, the UML being the most prominent example. With the increased use of modeling techniques has come the desire to use model transformations. The current paper presents the mapping from EDOC profiles to Web Services using a transformation language called YATL (Yet Another Transformation Language). This transformation language has been defined to perform transformations within the OMGs Model Driven Architecture (MDA) framework. After having presented YATL, we present an experiment to show how YATL can be used to map from EDOC to Web Services. YATL is still evolving since it is supposed to match the forthcoming OMGs Query/ Views/ transformations (QVT) standard.
