Transform Concordance File to USSEC Schema

This example converts a concordance load file to match a schema. Workflow:

  • Load the USSEC schema from a file
  • Read the ExampleLoadFile.dat file and convert it into an entity stream
  • Convert File Size field from a string to an integer
  • Map properties to match the USSEC schema
  • Add missing "SUBJECT" field
  • Transform entities to match the target schema
  • Print the transformed entities
