Schema Mapping

Schema mapping is the process of aligning and connecting data structures from different systems or databases. It involves identifying how fields or categories in one database correspond to those in another, enabling data from diverse sources to be shared, integrated, or transformed consistently. Think of it as creating a translation guide that ensures information from one format fits correctly into another, maintaining its meaning and usefulness. This is essential for combining data for analysis, migration, or interoperability across various applications or platforms.
