data conversion
Changing information formats
Data conversion is the process of changing data from one format, structure, or system to another.
This includes transforming file types converting a PDF to Word, translating between encoding schemes, or migrating information between databases or software platforms.
The term covers both simple format changes and complex restructuring of how data is organized and stored.
