"Another advantage to using regular expressions is that they will not fail the null transform test. That is, using your transformational language of choice, run a sample program through a transformation that doesn't perform any transformations. Many transformational languages will fail this test." This section is not sufficiently descriptive and as a result is fairly unclear. It states how to execute the test, but in no way states what the test is? What are you testing? How do you know if the test succeeded or failed? What should vs. shouldn't happen? Finally, how does this success or failure affect a user w.r.t language selection? Why is this important to them? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.18.233.51 (talk) 07:13, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Data converter vs. Data Transformer

When to use which term?

google: "data conversion" -> 2,790,000 hits
google: "data transformation" -> 553,000 hits

I'm assuming "data transformation" / "data transformer" is used exclusively for metadata, whereas "data conversion" is for "simple" data. ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.174.37.50 (talk) 16:13, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
