recode

Change data format

To recode is to code again or differently.

In computing and data work, recoding transforms data from one format or system of values to another: We recoded the survey responses from text to numeric values.

In genetics, recoding refers to altering genetic sequences.

The term implies systematic conversion rather than simple copying.
