Getting started with Data Refinery
Use Data
Refinery to cleanse and shape data and load the results into a
different location in preparation for analysis.
With Data
Refinery, you can
create data flows with a rich set of predefined operations to transform your data effectively. You
can read and write to different data sources, relational and noSQL systems, and cloud data sources.
The transformed data is cleansed and shaped so that you can more easily understand it, and gain
insight. You can also use the graphical interface to profile your data to validate it, and use
customizable charts to display distributions.
