CONVERT: A High Level Translation Definition Language for Data Conversion This paper describes a high level and nonprocedural translation definition language, CONVERT, which provides very powerful and highly flexible data restructuring capabilities. Its design is based on the simple underlying concept of a form which enables the users to visualize the translation processes, and thus makes data translation a much simpler task. "CONVERT" has been chosen for conveying the purpose of the language and should not be confused with any other language or program bearing the same name. CACM October, 1975 Shu, N. C. Housel, B. C.
