RONIN: Data Lake Exploration
Summary: RONIN enables data-lake exploration by constructing organizations—on-the-fly hierarchical groupings—over keyword- or joinability-search results. It uniquely interleaves search with adaptive hierarchical navigation, avoiding the need for users to identify an initial dataset or rely solely on linkage graphs.
