Encyclopedia > Data transformation

In metadata, a data transformation converts data from a source data format into destination data. Metadata (Greek: meta- + Latin: data information), literally data about data, are information about another set of data. ...


Data transformation can be divided into two steps:

  1. data mapping maps data elements from the source to the destination and captures any transformation that must occur
  2. code generation that creates the actual transformation program

Data element to data element mapping is frequently complicated by complex transformations that requires one-to-many and many-to-one transformation rules. Data mapping is the process of creating data element mappings between two distinct data models. ... In metadata, the term data element is an atomic unit of data that has: an identification such as a Data element name a clear Data element definition one or more Representation terms optional enumerated values In telecommunication, the term data element has the following components: A named unit of data... In computer science, code generation is the process by which a compiler converts a syntactically-correct program into a series of instructions that could be executed by a machine. ...


The code generation step takes the data element mapping specification and creates an executable program that can be run on a computer system. Code generation can also create transformation in easy-to-maintain computer languages such as Java or XSLT. Java is an object-oriented programming language developed by James Gosling and colleagues at Sun Microsystems in the early 1990s. ... ...
