Vocabulary-based transformation
Transformation aided by semantic equivalence statements within a controlled vocabulary.
In metadata, a vocabulary-based transformation (VBT) is a transformation aided by the use of a semantic equivalence statements within a controlled vocabulary.
Many organizations today require communication between two or more computers. Although many standards exist to exchange data between computers such as HTML or email, there is still much structured information that needs to be exchanged between computers that is not standardized. The process of mapping one source of data into another is often a slow and labor-intensive process.
VBT is a possible way to avoid much of the time and cost of manual data mapping using traditional extract, transform, load technologies.
