German term

aufeinander abgebildet

German to English Marketing Computers: Systems, Networks
This is a platform connecting different systems allowing each system to remain independent.

Hierbei können unterschiedliche Datenstrukturen ohne Eingriff in bestehende Systeme aufeinander abgebildet werden.

Could someone explain what "aufeinander abgebildet" means in this context.

Thanks

German term (edited): Datenstrukturen...aufeinander abgebildet werden.
Selected

reference/(mapped to|against) each other('s data)

My understanding from the sentence: we're talking about data exchange between two existing systems by one of a variety of means (ranging from CSV file exchange to COM-objects in the business layer using XML formatting in "real time"). I would ask for clarification, but either I'm not allowed or simply don't see the appropriate button.

If the target readers are programmers, they would probably prefer "mapped" over "referenced".
Example sentence:

By doing this, existing systems can reference each other's data without changes to their data structures.

This allows differing data structures to be mapped against each other without modifications to the existing systems.
