Data Cleansing
Date:
By: Philip Howard
Classification: Market Update
This is the third of four Market Updates
on data discovery, data profiling, data
cleansing, and data quality platforms
respectively. Within “data
cleansing” we include matching,
standardisation, enrichment
and other facilities normally
associated with data
cleansing. We do not include
data profiling, facilities to
support data migration, data
governance capabilities
and similar facilities, which
will be included along with
data cleansing in the fourth
of these Market Updates.
That said, we do discuss
identity resolution as distinct
from conventional name and
address matching in this paper,
and we also consider the needs
of product cleansing and matching as
opposed to name and address matching.
