# Mappings

Mappings describe how individual object attributes relate to a data source representation. Mappings can involve a complex transformation or a direct entry.

TopLink uses mappings to determine how to transform data between object and data source representation. Most mapping information can be defined by TopLink Workbench, then read from the project XML file at run time. Mappings are owned by descriptors (see "Descriptors").

See "Understanding Mappings" for more information.
