1. A method comprising, at a computer system:

  • generating first profile metadata for each column of a first plurality of columns in a first dataset stored a first data source;

    generating second profile metadata for each column of a second plurality of columns in a second dataset stored a second data source;

    identifying, based on the first profile metadata and the second profile metadata, a plurality of column pairs between the first dataset and the second dataset, wherein columns in each of the plurality of column pairs have a relationship;

    determining one or more recommendations for blending each of one or more column pairs of the plurality of column pairs that have the relationship;

    determining one or more types of join functions that can be applied to each of the one or more column pairs based on the one or more recommendations for blending each of the one or more column pairs;

    generating a first graphical interface to display each of the one or more types of join functions that can be applied to each of the one or more column pairs that have the relationship, wherein each of the one or more types of join functions are displayed showing a diagram of a type of join function for joining the first dataset with the second dataset by columns in a different column pair of the plurality of column pairs;

    receiving input corresponding to selection of a first type of join function of the one or more types of join functions; and

    generating a second graphical interface to display a third dataset based on joining, according to the first type of join function, the first dataset at a first column within a first column pair with the second dataset at a second column in the first column pair.
