[edit] History

The term vocabulary-based transformation was first defined by Roy Shulte of the Gartner Group around May of 2003 and appeared in annual "hype-cycle" for integration.

[edit] Application

VBT allows computer systems integrators to more automatically "look up" the definitions of data elements in a centralized data dictionary and use that definition and the equivalent mappings to transform that data element into a foreign namespace.

The Web Ontology Language (OWL) language also support three semantic equivalence statements.
