ATLAS Transformation Language
Atlas Transformation Language (ATL) is a computer language that helps computers understand how to change things from one form to another.
For instance, imagine you have a picture of a cat, but your computer needs the words “cat” to understand what it is. You can use ATL to tell your computer, “When you see this picture, change it into the word ‘cat’.”
ATL works by having a bunch of rules that the computer follows. These rules are like instructions that tell the computer what to do with the information it has. In our example, one rule might say, “If you see an image of a furry animal with whiskers, call it a ‘cat.’”
Because it has many rules, ATL can help computers understand complicated things like how to turn a website’s code into a mobile app, or how to translate a book from one language to another. It’s like having a really smart assistant that can translate everything for you!
