Word Investigate option

The Word Investigate option parses free-form data columns into individual values (previously called tokens) that are analyzed to create patterns.

To create the patterns, the Word Investigate option uses rule sets that are provided with InfoSphere® QualityStage® or rule sets that you created or customized. You can specify how you want values to be evaluated by the investigation process by selecting a rule set that meets your requirements. The Word Investigate option uses the specified rule set to determine how to identify values, assign class types to those values, and create patterns.

The Word Investigate option also provides frequency counts on the values. The output that the Word Investigate option generates is used by two reports, frequency pattern and frequency word, which can be viewed in the web console.
