Index Data profiling

Data profiling is the process of examining the data available from an existing information source (e.g. a database or a file) and collecting statistics or informative summaries about that data. [1]

Analysis paralysis

Analysis paralysis or paralysis by analysis is the state of over-analyzing (or over-thinking) a situation so that a decision or action is never taken, in effect paralyzing the outcome.

Descriptive statistics

A descriptive statistic (in the count noun sense) is a summary statistic that quantitatively describes or summarizes features of a collection of information, while descriptive statistics in the mass noun sense is the process of using and analyzing those statistics.

Functional dependency

In relational database theory, a functional dependency is a constraint between two sets of attributes in a relation from a database.

Index term

An index term, subject term, subject heading, or descriptor, in information retrieval, is a term that captures the essence of the topic of a document.

Master data management

In business, master data management (MDM) is a method used to define and manage the critical data of an organization to provide, with data integration, a single point of reference.
