A. Mamrak, C. S. O'Connell, and J. A. Barnes ABSTRACT: The Integrated Chameleon Architecture (ICA) is a software toolset that supports data translation. ICA is a stepping stone toward the goal of a data-translation architecture that is general, code-generating, and easy-to-use. The architecture is based on formal models and data abstractions, yet effectively handles translation for a certain class of existing, relatively idiosyncratic, data representations. In this paper we describe the tools that comprise the ICA. This technical report, OSU-CIS-11/90-TR37, is available by email request to strawser@cis.ohio-state.edu ***************** Our translation work assumes an intermediate-form model for the translation, and we use SGML DTDs as the intermediate forms. We have formed an industrial consortium to bring our SGML and translation software to an alpha-tested, fully-documented, freely-licsenced state. If, after reading the technical report, you are interested in joining the consortium, we would be glad to invite you for a demonstration of the ICA at OSU in early May, 1991.
