Building a Knowledge Base

  • Artikel

Applies to: SQL Server

A knowledge base in Data Quality Services (DQS) is a repository of knowledge about your data that enables you to understand your data and maintain its integrity. A knowledge base consists of domains, each of which represents the data in a data field. The knowledge base is used by DQS to perform data cleansing and deduplication on a database. To prepare the knowledge base for data cleansing, you can run a computer-assisted analysis of a data sample, and interactively manage values in the domains. DQS enables you to import knowledge, create rules and relationships, change data values directly, and leverage a default database.
