A Vocabulary-Based Transformation (VBT) is a transformation that is aided by the use of a semantic mappings within a controlled vocabulary.

History

The term Vocabulary-Based Transformation was first defined by Roy Shulte of the Gartner Group around May of 2003 an appeared in annual "hype-cycle" for integration.

VBT allows computer systems integrators to more automatically "look up" the definitions of data elements in a centralized data dictionary and use that definition and the equilivant mappings to transform that data element into a foreign namespace.
