I'd suggest "tree transformation"... except that somewhat implies that the result is the same type of tree [like a Procedure Transform( Item : in out Tree )] when it sounds like he's converting some other sort of tree into the sort he wants [like a Function Convert( Input : RDF_Tree ) return Whatever_Tree].

Perhaps "Tree Conversion" then?
