Abstract

A data quality management system includes a rules repository configured to store profiling data quality rules, cleansing data quality rules, and linking data that links profiling data quality rules to cleansing data quality rules. The data quality management system also includes a rules management module configured to manage the rules repository. The data quality management system further includes a data quality job management module configured to migrate data quality rules from the rules repository to a data quality processing system and manage a data quality process performed by the data quality processing system using the migrated data quality rules.

Claims

1. A data quality management system comprising:

a rules repository configured to store profiling data quality rules, cleansing data quality rules, and linking data that links profiling data quality rules to cleansing data quality rules;

a rules management module configured to manage the rules repository by managing the profiling data quality rules stored in the rules repository, managing the cleansing data quality rules stored in the rules repository, and managing the linking data stored in the rules repository; and

a data quality job management module configured to migrate data quality rules from the rules repository to a data quality processing system and manage a data quality process performed by the data quality processing system using the migrated data quality rules, the migrated data quality rules including one or more linked pairs of data quality rules that have a profiling data quality rule linked to a cleansing data quality rule by the linking data and the data quality job management module being configured to control the data quality processing system to execute the one or more linked pairs of data quality rules.
