Data Profiling & Data Quality

The document discusses data profiling and data quality. It explains that data profiling examines data sources and collects statistics about the data, including frequency, data types, lengths, discrete values, and patterns. This helps improve data quality, shorten project timelines, and increase user understanding of the data. The document also demonstrates two open source data quality tools - Open Source Data Quality (OSDQ) and Talend Data Quality. Both are free Java-based tools that connect to databases and allow ad-hoc profiling, analysis, and reporting to assess data quality.

Data Profiling
Data profiling is the process of examining the data available from a source
and collecting statistics or summary information about that data.

What do you get?


• Frequency
• additional metadata information such as
• data types,
• length,
• discrete values,
• uniqueness, occurrence of null values,
• typical string patterns. etc.

Benefits of data profiling


• To improve data quality,
• shorten the implementation cycle of major projects, and
• improve users' understanding of data
