Step 6: Identify the Data Transformation Scenarios

With an existing understanding of the data and application semantics that exist within an application integration problem domain, it is good to get an idea about how schema and content of the data moving between systems will be transformed. This is necessary for a couple of reasons. First, data existing in one system won't make sense to another until the data schema and content is reformatted to make sense to the target system. Second, it will ensure the maintenance of consistent application semantics from system to system.
