Hey Michael & Steve, Thanks for clarifying this for me. I did not realize that Integration (when looked at as Choreography) was indeed business logic implementation. And hence was a part of tranformation.
I guess I was under the impression that choreography was only wiring units of work (delegated to other entities/systems). And so I'd formed an opinion that Transformation was *a-part-of* integration and not the other way around. Whilst I am not a 100% on the same page, yet, I am beginning to look at the concepts in new light. Thanks again.
