An XSLT-based transformation process addresses the performance problems of ordinary XSLT transformations and provides for an efficient conversion of many sources of raw, or interpreted, application data into many different interpretations. In addition, the data may be filtered to downstream users, thus enabling the use of security measures by way of the filters.

Creating multiple and cascading business interpretations from raw application data using transformation layering

A process flow development tool is given a capability of determining the properties corresponding to a particular type of object and allowing a user to decide how and where the properties will be shown in a Properties dialog for individual objects of the particular type. The capability allows the tool to present a dialog that allows the user to customize, for the particular type of object, the layout for the properties in the Properties dialog. This layout may then be stored in an organizer object associated with the particular type of object.

Customization of object property layout for a user interface
