| Abstract: |
Methods and apparatus are provided which solves the looping problem in structural documents, such as those defined by DOM, EDI and XML. The method and apparatus remove ambiguities by presenting a user with a hierarchical tree structure representation of the document allowing the user to select data grouping rules to be followed. The method and apparatus then automatically create a modified hierarchical tree structure based upon the user-defined rules. Rules can be input by the user using a rule table editor or by means of a graphical user interface.

1. A computer-implemented method for processing a structural document to remove ambiguities from the document prior to processing, comprising the steps of: identifying ambiguities within a structural document in electronic format to include data loops that are not marked as loops; representing the structural document in electronic format as a hierarchical tree structure, using computing resources; receiving, within said computing resources, translation rules and data loop grouping options defined by a user in a static translation table with reference to the hierarchical tree structure; creating a dynamic translation table to resolve said ambiguities for said hierarchical tree structure; and automatically generating, using said computing resources, a modified hierarchical tree structure representing the structural document in electronic format in accordance with the translation rules and grouping options.
