Transformatsioonile is the allative form of the Estonian noun transformatsioon, which denotes transformation or change in form, state, or structure.

In mathematics, a transformatsioon refers to a rule that assigns elements from one set to elements of another set, often preserving some structure. Common examples include geometric transformations such as translation, rotation, reflection, and scaling, as well as more abstract transformations like linear or affine maps between vector spaces.

In biology and genetics, transformation denotes the uptake and incorporation of external DNA by a cell, leading to genetic change. This concept underpins bacterial genetics and modern genetic engineering, with historical milestones including experiments demonstrating transformation and the later discovery that DNA carries genetic information.

In data processing and computer science, data transformation refers to converting data from one format or structure to another, a core step in extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) pipelines and data integration tasks.

In organizational and social contexts, transformation describes comprehensive changes in strategy, processes, culture, or structure to achieve new goals or adapt to new environments.
