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 toXML translation with the additional benefits of code re-use and strong 
built-in model validation. We further applied this framework to the domain of BusinessPerformance 
Management (BPM), converting documents from human-readableXML format to machine-readable XMI 
format. Experimental evaluation indicated that XML models can have more than 75% size reduction.
