When using a Triple-S metadata file to read a Triple-S case data file, the Triple-S DSC converts each Triple-S variable name into a valid UNICOM Intelligence Metadata Model (MDM) variable name. The changes include the following:

If a name differs from a previous name only in case, the Triple-S DSC issues an error message.

The Triple-S DSC stores the original Triple-S variable name in the corresponding MDM variable's AliasName property. If the generated MDM document is used to create further Triple-S files, the Triple-S DSC will use the value of AliasName to name the corresponding Triple-S variable.

The Triple-S DSC maps default, multilingual, and specialized (modal) texts in Triple-S <title>, <label>, and <value> elements to MDM labels as follows.

By default, the Triple-S DSC sets the MDM document's base language to the language specified by the system locale. However, if the Triple-S metadata's <sss> element includes a languages attribute, the Triple-S DSC adds all the languages identified by the value of that attribute to the MDM document and sets the MDM document's base language to the first language specified by that attribute. The Triple-S DSC then maps all Triple-S default texts to MDM labels in the base language and maps all language-specific texts to MDM labels in the corresponding language.

The Triple-S DSC maps Triple-S default and specialized texts to labels in MDM user contexts as follows:
