6.4.9 Determining Similarities during Automatic Mapping

In automatic mapping, similarities between the schema elements of the transformation-source and destination nodes are determined and mapped. If many similar elements exist, they are mapped in priority order.

The following table shows the priority order for determining the similarities of schema elements of transformation-source nodes. Note that level 1 of the priority order is the highest and reduces in proportion to the value of the level.
