Definition: data portability
Being able to move data from one database or repository to another. It implies that the data are available in one or more file formats rather than only visually on screen. Otherwise, the data must be retyped word for word into another application and on-screen images must be captured one at a time. Walled gardens prevent data from being easily transferred. See walled garden. Contrast with software portability.
