  2. Record linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Record_linkage

    Record linkage (also known as data matching, data linkage, entity resolution, and many other terms) is the task of finding records in a data set that refer to the same entity across different data sources (e.g., data files, books, websites, and databases).

  3. Metadata discovery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metadata_discovery

    Exact match - where data element linkages are made based on the exact name of a column in a database, the name of an XML element or a label on a screen. For example, if a database column has the name "PersonBirthDate" and a data element in a metadata registry also has the name "PersonBirthDate", automated tools can infer that the column of a database has the same semantics (meaning) as the ...

  4. Schema matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schema_matching

    The terms schema matching and mapping are often used interchangeably for a database process. For this article, we differentiate the two as follows: schema matching is the process of identifying that two objects are semantically related (scope of this article) while mapping refers to the transformations between the objects.

  5. Semantic matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_matching

    Semantic matching is a technique used in computer science to identify information which is semantically related. Given any two graph-like structures, e.g. classifications , taxonomies database or XML schemas and ontologies , matching is an operator which identifies those nodes in the two structures which semantically correspond to one another.

  6. Pattern matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_matching

    will match elements such as A[1], A[2], or more generally A[x] where x is any entity. In this case, A is the concrete element, while _ denotes the piece of tree that can be varied. A symbol prepended to _ binds the match to that variable name while a symbol appended to _ restricts the matches to nodes of that

  7. Data mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_mapping

    Data transformation or data mediation between a data source and a destination; Identification of data relationships as part of data lineage analysis; Discovery of hidden sensitive data such as the last four digits of a social security number hidden in another user id as part of a data masking or de-identification project

    Data onboarding is the process of transferring offline data to an online environment for marketing needs. [1] [2] Data onboarding is mainly used to connect offline customer records with online users by matching identifying information gathered from offline datasets to retrieve the same customers in an online audience.

  9. Approximate string matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximate_string_matching

    Common applications of approximate matching include spell checking. [5] With the availability of large amounts of DNA data, matching of nucleotide sequences has become an important application. [1] Approximate matching is also used in spam filtering. [5] Record linkage is a common application where records from two disparate databases are matched.
