DataProf: Semantic Profiling for Iterative Data Cleansing and Business Rule Acquisition
Summary: DataProf: a semantic data profiler for iterative cleansing and rule acquisition. It returns perfect sample records that satisfy the same constraints as the input data, enabling rapid detection of violations and interactive, expert-guided rule discovery, including embedded uniqueness constraints.
