Tag Mapping step holds the key to the XML Import. ConceptChoir will list the system concept construction in the System concept construction box in the left, and ConceptChoir will also analysis the source file and list the file construction in the XML file construction box. To map elements and attributes, use simply drag the element or attribute from the XML file construction and drop to the intended element or attribute it should be mapped to. For example, in the above presentation, if user would like to map the "Concept" element from the XML file construction to System Concept Construction, user simply drag the element and drop to the "Concept" element in the System concept construction box. Figure 3 shows the results of this mapping.
