It is worth spending a few moments on Terminology.
| • | Workspace - this is an Eclipse term and refers to a root folder in your file system where you will store your projects. When you install the Designer it creates a default Workspace called "workspace" for you. |
| • | Project - this is where you will create your Transformations. You can put one or more transformation "Graphs" into a single project. |
| • | Transformation - the general term for a set of operations that will manipulate your data. |
| • | Graph - this is the formal term for the graphical layout that contains a set of transformation components. |
| • | Transformation Components - these are the graphical objects that you will drag into your graph. |
| • | Edge - an edge is the line that joins components together. |
