What do these terms mean?

1. Data collection & migration

Data is merged from multiple sources with unique keys

Changes can be made to the data structure so that another system can continue to use this data in its own structures

Also, only better handling than in the original source can justify the transformation

2. Data extraction

Data is embedded in other structures but is required on its own

Data is not available in a form that can be processed by machines

Only a subset of the available data is required

3. Conversion & enrichment

Data from a source must be formally reworked

Data from one source must be enriched with data from other sources

4. Data-structure transformation

Transform data from columns to rows

Split one row to multi-key rows for records

5. Interactive reengineering of data

System-supported interactive processing, supplementation or conversion of data for the primary loading of e.g. ERP systems

6. Data integration from ERP
