<p>Here are some of the terms used in this documentation:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>resource</strong> – A resource is, for most intents and purposes, a database table. Each database table you want to link should have a corresponding “resource”. In the future, resources might also include text files or other formats for linking.</li>
<li><strong>transformer</strong> – Transformers are methods of converting data. If you want to convert a field in your database to another format, create new computed fields, or filter out data, you would use a transformer to do so. Transformers are useful when converting fields that you later want to use to link resources together.</li>
<li><strong>scenario</strong> – Linkage scenarios are the glue of Coupler. Each scenario contains instructions on which resources to match and how to match them</li>
</ul>
