UNLization, formerly known as enconversion, is the process of "representing" a natural language structure into UNL. This "representation" should be understood as a interpretation rather than as a translation of the source document, in the sense it is not necessarily committed to its linguistic structure (such as lexical choice and syntax) but to its semantic structure only (it must replicate concepts and relations between concepts conveyed by the linguistic structure). The main consequence of such assumption is that the UNL document will not contain the semantic ambiguities of the original, and will only encode one of its possible semantic realisations, preferably the most frequent one.
