Abstract: A method for generating object code which represents a conformance of input data structures into that of a prespecified output data structure such that at runtime data in the input structures can be embedded into the output structure. At least some of the input and output structures have some common fields but differ in the distribution of the hierarchical and repeated groups of said fields. The method utilizes graphical models for characterizing the prespecified forms and a series of operations based upon the difference in the complexity and distribution of the graphs for conforming the input structure to that of the output.
