Talend Open Profiler

Talend Open Profiler is an open source computer software project for data profiling. The project is driven by commercial open source vendor Talend.

Talend Open Profiler Project

Talend Open Profiler is open source software that enables companies to assess the quality of data contained in their databases and business applications, and to decide which actions must be taken to correct erroneous or incomplete data.

Talend Open Profiler addresses the following profiling needs:

• Metadata discovery, which identifies the structure of the databases that need to be analyzed.
• Statistics definition, which defines the statistics and metrics that need to be measured on each data item.
• Results and graphs, which make it easy to view the results and assess the level of quality of the data.
