Potter's Wheel: An Interactive Data Cleaning System

Summary: Potter's Wheel is an interactive data-cleaning system that tightly couples transformation with discrepancy detection, enabling progressive fixes in a spreadsheet-like interface. Transforms are defined graphically or by example, with immediate visual feedback; the system infers value structures and checks constraints in the background.
