mapper
A mapper, in the context of computer programming, is typically defined as a function or program that transforms or translates data from one format to another. This could encompass a range of tasks, including reformatting data, applying certain calculations or logic to transform the data, or mapping values between different databases or systems. The concept of a mapper is particularly relevant in data processing and analysis, such as in the MapReduce programming model for processing large data sets.

MAPPER
MAPPER is a database management and processing system. It is a software tool that enables end-users to share computer power in a corporation. Users are able to develop their own applications and process them interactively. The product has a number of unique characteristics that may appear technically impossible to persons unfamiliar with its method of operation. MAPPER had its origins outside the technical mainstream of computer programming. Initially created in Sperry Univac's computer factory in Roseville, Minnesota, MAPPER is a proprietary product of Unisys Corporation. The principal architect was Louis S. Schlueter, who worked with other early "gurus" like Michael Stroeing of Sperry, Steve Anderson of Santa Fe Railway, and later with Kansas City government. MAPPER became a very popular solution in the Government sector. Large user group communities formed like the New England MAPPER Users Group headed by Judith Hartman, Howard Roundy and Michael Scolastico. There are similarities between the development history of MAPPER and that of UNIX. Both were responses to what appeared to be unreasonable restrictions in the way computer systems were developed. While UNIX is a core software "operating" system, MAPPER is a cross-platform application tool. Thus it will run, like a program, on a variety of operating systems.
