A system for transforming a mainframe application into corresponding web-based application is disclosed. A set of logic rules and data are extracted from the mainframe application. Link objects containing the set of logic rules and data are created. The link objects point to the rules and data in the mainframe application. The link objects are mapped to display regions defined by web-based application. Web pages are created to display the transformed mainframe application and a web-browser is used to display and navigate among the data in the mainframe application.

1. A computer-implemented method for transforming data in a first computer program for use by a second computer program, said first computer application residing on a first computer and said second computer program being executed by a second computer, said first and said second computer being coupled to each other through a network, said method comprising the steps of: extracting a set of logic rules and a set of data from said first computer program, data in said first computer program being represented as either host data screens, message buffers, or objects and methods; creating link objects containing said set of logic rules and said set of data, said link objects pointing to locations storing corresponding data in said first computer program; mapping said link objects to display regions defined by said second computer program, said second computer program being a web browser program; storing said link objects in memory prior to said mapping step; and modifying one or more data elements of said set of data through said web browser program, modifying one or more data elements comprising: matching a host application data for said first computer program with a web object for said second computer program, said host application data comprising data required to construct said web object, said matching comprising a three-level matching algorithm for matching said host application data, said three-level matching algorithm comprising: a first match result for substantially identical correlation between said host application data and said web object, a second match result for correlation between said host application data and said web object above a first threshold, and a third match result for correlation between said host application data and said web object below said first threshold and between said host application data and a previous web object above a second threshold, merging said host application data with one or more data objects stored in said memory; combining screen data objects produced by said merging step to produce a page object, and positioning said screen data objects and said page object in a web page displayed by said web browser using hypertext markup language objects. 2. The method according to claim 1 wherein said second computer program is a downstream Internet application. 3. The method of claim 2 further comprising the step of modifying one or more data elements of said set of data through said downstream Internet application.
