MAINTAINING A DATASET BASED ON PERIODIC CLEANSING OF RAW SOURCE DATA - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18157898 titled 'MAINTAINING A DATASET BASED ON PERIODIC CLEANSING OF RAW SOURCE DATA

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a data cleaning platform that assigns a unique identifier to each data record in a dataset based on specific fields. It also generates a separate dataset for new transactions and updates the original dataset accordingly.

  • The data cleaning platform assigns a unique identifier to each data record in a dataset.
  • It generates a separate dataset for new transactions that occurred after the original dataset was created.
  • The platform updates the original dataset by joining the new transaction data with the existing dataset.

Potential Applications

  • Data cleaning and organization in various industries such as finance, healthcare, and retail.
  • Streamlining data processing and analysis tasks.
  • Improving data accuracy and reliability.

Problems Solved

  • Eliminates the need for manual identification and matching of data records.
  • Ensures that new transaction data is properly integrated into the existing dataset.
  • Reduces errors and inconsistencies in data cleaning and organization processes.

Benefits

  • Saves time and effort by automating the data cleaning and updating process.
  • Increases the accuracy and reliability of datasets by assigning unique identifiers.
  • Enables efficient analysis and decision-making based on up-to-date and comprehensive data.


Original Abstract Submitted

In some implementations, a data cleaning platform may determine a respective entity key for each data record in a cleansed dataset based on a combination of fields, in each data record, that contain information that uniquely identifies an entity associated with a respective data record. The data cleaning platform may generate a delta dataset based on a set of uncleansed data records related to transactions that occurred after a time when the cleansed dataset was first generated. For example, in some implementations, each uncleansed data record in the delta dataset may be associated with a corresponding entity key based on the combination of fields. The data cleaning platform may perform a data join to update the cleansed dataset to include data records related to the transactions that occurred after the time when the cleansed dataset was first generated.
