	Abstract:	As XML formats have been widely adopted for representing business documents both within and across enterprises, XML to XML translation becomes a common and critical component for business process integration. Due to limitations of popular approaches such as XSLT for XML translations, we designed a model driven development framework for XML to XML translation with the additional benefits of code re-use and strong built-in model validation. We further applied this framework to the domain of Business Performance Management (BPM), converting documents from human-readable XML format to machine-readable XMI format. Experimental evaluation indicated that XML models can have more than 75% size reduction.
