What is Data Profiling?

Data Profiling provides the ability to automatically scan the data associated each attribute in the database environment.
The profiling process creates a large number of metrics related to each attributes. Collectively these metrics can create a "semantic understanding" of each attribute, allowing the software to relate it to all other attributes in the data landscape.

Can Data Profiling deal with redundant data?

Yes. 10 different types of profiling abilities built are in the software which do in depth statistical, quality oriented analysis of data and generate quality metrics such as conformity, consistency, accuracy, timeliness etc.

What is Data Classification?

Data Classification provides the ability to automatically identify information domains and group them together on the basis of similiarity.Data Classification provides the ability to automatically identify information domains and group them together on the basis of similiarity.

What is Data Mapping?

Data mapping is the process of creating data element mappings between two distinct data models. Data mapping is used as a first step for a wide variety of data integration tasks including -

• Data transformation between a data source and a destination
• Identification of data relationships as part of data lineage analysis
• Consolidation of multiple databases into a single database and identifying redundant columns of data for consolidation or elimination

Does your product support a Vocabulary /Taxonomy / Ontology project?

Yes and No. We support Taxonomic representations of data through our Hierarchy Manager module. We do not support Ontological representations of data, and have very limited support for lexical representations. The semantic mapping and reconciliation is one of the core deliverables of our software, and is supported.
