This punter's US$.02: Transformation: the generic term for the overall process. Mapping: the creation of output that corresponds directly to some input on a fine-grained level. Filtering: choosing what information to map (or not). Enriching: adding additional information to that output that does not have the input as origin, perhaps from a separate data source or some business/logical rules, possibly constructed by the mapping process itself.
