The DTA serves as a playground for different research topics and provides a collection of different document transformation functions.

A DocumentTransformationFunction DTF transforms a document into another document. Transforming in our context is meant in a very broad sense. The semantics defined is that one document, represented as a byte array, is passed as an argument to the DTF, and another array of bytes is returned.
