Transferring information from one type of storage format into another. For example, a GIF graphic file can be converted into a BMP file, or a Word for Windows file can be converted into ASCII text.
The process by which information is converted from one form to another. For example, analog audio signals are 'converted' to digital when recorded onto a DAT. The process also refers to the sampling rate conversion that sometimes occurs in the mastering process, where a DAT sampled at 48 kHz is converted to 44.1kHz.
The process of converting data stored in one format to another format, such as converting data stored as integers to data stored as floating point numbers. Some objects, such as ScalarField, perform automatic data conversions.
The translation of data from one storage format or media to another for the purpose of transferring it from one GIS to another. It is also the process of transforming maps from manual to digital form.
As the name indicates, this is the process of converting data from one system to another. In the case of Keep In Touch a data conversion involving is usually performed only once (compare with Data Integration).
conversion from one way of encoding data to another way
Converting of data from one format into another. Conversion falls into three basic categories in general including conversion to a form useable by the equipment you have (e.g. conversion from tape to disc because you do not have a tape drive), conversion from one method of encoding data to another, and conversion from one format to another (e.g., from WordStar to WordPerfect).
Converting spatial data into a GIS digital format. This can take the form of board digitizing or scanning and vectorizing hard copy maps, COGO from written descriptions such as legal descriptions of land parcel boundaries, or conversion from one digital format to another.
For the purposes of our web site, data conversion means converting data from some other CMMS package into a form that can be used with MainBoss. This is often necessary if you switch from some other CMMS to MainBoss.
Rules for mapping data from a software application for use by another and writing programs to execute the adaptation, for example, a program that systematically adapts data in the current HR system to populate PeopleSoft tables.
This is where information that is stored in one format is converted into a different format (Such as Quattro Pro spreadsheet format *.WB3 to Excel spreadsheet format *.XLS).
The translation of data from one format to another. Often when data are moved from one system to another, some form of data conversion is required to convert the data to a format the receiving system can interpret. Sometimes it is necessary to have an intermediate format.
The changing of data from one form to another.
Changing information that has been entered using one file format to another file format for import into another application or platform.
Altering or changing data. This can include translating it into a different format, taking out extraneous data, and restructuring data.
Data conversion is the process of changing digital data from one format to another so it can be used in another software application or printed on a specific output device.
Process of changing information from one form of representation to another.
Changing digital data from one format to another so it can be used in another software application or printed on a specific output device. (E.g., CMYK to RGB, TIF to GIF, MS Word to Postscript, etc.).
The translation of data from one format to another. ArcInfo supports data conversion from many geographic data formats such as DLG, TIGER, DXF, and DEM.
Conversion of existing manual and computer files so they can be used by a new system. 14.32
Data conversion is the conversion of one form of computer data to another--the changing of bits from being in one format to a different one, usually for the purpose of application interoperability or of capability of using new features. At the simplest level, data conversion can be exemplified by conversion of a text file from one character encoding to another. More complex conversions are those of office file formats, and conversions of image and audio file formats are an endeavor that is beyond the ken of ordinary computer users.
