SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Merge and reconcile data from disparate sources into a single, accurate master view. This skill helps eliminate duplicates, resolve conflicts, and provide consistent data for analytics and operations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Entity resolution: identify and merge records representing the same real-world entity across source systems.
  • Conflict resolution & survivorship: apply rules to choose authoritative values when sources disagree.
  • Data quality & lineage: validate, cleanse, and trace data transformations to support governance.
  • Schema normalization & real-time vs batch: harmonize diverse schemas and support both streaming and nightly ETL workflows.

Quick Start

Start a conflation workflow by defining sources, mapping fields to a master schema, and running the conflation pipeline to produce a master dataset.

FAQPage Schema
How do I merge data from multiple sources into a unified master record?

To merge data from multiple sources, you map source fields to a master schema and run a conflation pipeline that applies deterministic mapping, entity resolution, and survivorship rules to produce a single reconciled master dataset.

What is data conflation and when do I need it for data integration?

Data conflation is the process of merging and reconciling records from disparate sources to eliminate duplicates and resolve conflicts. You need it for data integration tasks like CRM integrations, data warehouses, and analytics pipelines to ensure consistent, accurate master data.

Can I use this for real-time streaming data or is it only for batch ETL workflows?

Yes, you can use it for both real-time streaming and batch ETL workflows. The skill harmonizes diverse schemas and supports conflation across both real-time and nightly processing contexts for analytics pipelines and API integrations.

How does survivorship rules work when resolving data conflicts across sources?

Survivorship rules resolve data conflicts by choosing authoritative values when sources disagree. During entity resolution, these rules determine which source provides the master value, ensuring the reconciled record maintains high data quality.

Does this support data lineage and data quality checks for governance?

Yes, it supports data governance by validating and cleansing data through quality checks while documenting lineage and transformation requirements. This traces data transformations across source systems to maintain consistent master data.
