Data mapping is the process of matching fields or data elements from one system, database, or file format to corresponding fields in another, establishing how data should be transformed and transferred between them. Data engineers use mapping during system migrations, integrations, and ETL processes to ensure information moves correctly and consistently. Clear data mapping documentation reduces errors when merging data from disparate sources with different schemas.
