Your Mediators Need Data Conversion!

Summary: YAT is a data-conversion system for mediator/wrapper architectures handling heterogeneous sources. It uses a named-tree model and YATL, a declarative language with pattern matching and restructuring that preserves collection order, plus a program-instantiation customization.
