Chapter 3 Building Information Liquidity Diagrams

XML Documents (ILM)

An XML document is a data store, which contains data written under the XML format, and which can be associated with one or more XML Models (XSM) to describe it contents. The XML document can be linked to:

• A transformation process via a data connection. The XML document is a data input or output in the modeling of data transformations. For more information about data transformations, see the Building Data Transformation Diagrams chapter.
• Any other diagram objects via dependency links to show dependencies between these objects and the XSM associated with the XML document.

In the following example, Acme Role is linked to TransformationProcess, which is in turn, linked to GiantCorp.
