Data Mapping: The process of creating data element mappings between two distinct data models. Data mapping is used as a first step for a wide variety of data integration tasks, including data transformation or data mediation between a data source and a destination. It helps to define how individual data fields are matched from one database to another, ensuring that information is transferred accurately and correctly during system migrations, data consolidation, or ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes. It is fundamental in data management and integration activities.
