+ * (ETL) process. In the Drupal Migrate API, the extract phase is called
+ * 'source', the transform phase is called 'process', and the load phase is
+ * called 'destination'. It is important to understand that the term 'load' in
+ * ETL refers to loading data into the storage while in a typical Drupal context
+ * the term 'load' refers to loading data from storage.
*
* In the source phase, a set of data, called the row, is retrieved from the
- * data source, typically a database but it can be a CSV, JSON or XML file. The
- * row is sent to the process phase where it is transformed as needed by the
- * destination, or marked to be skipped. Processing can also determine that a
- * stub needs to be created, for example, if a term has a parent term that does
- * not yet exist. After processing the transformed row is passed to the
- * destination phase where it is loaded (saved) into the Drupal 8 site.
- *
- * The ETL process is configured by the migration plugin. The different phases:
- * source, process, and destination are also plugins, and are managed by the
- * Migration plugin. So there are four types of plugins in the migration

+ * (for example CSV, JSON or XML) or fetched from a web service (for example RSS
+ * or REST). The row is sent to the process phase where it is transformed as
+ * needed or marked to be skipped. Processing can also determine if a 'stub'
+ * needs to be created. For example, if a term has a parent term which hasn't
+ * been migrated yet, a stub term is created so that the parent relation can be
+ * established, and the stub is updated at a later point. After processing, the
+ * transformed row is passed to the destination phase where it is loaded (saved)
+ * into the target Drupal site.
