Abstract: Techniques for data integration are provided. Source attributes for source data are interactively mapped to target attributes for target data. Rules define how records from the source data are merged, selected, and for duplication detection. The mappings and rules are recorded as a profile for the source data and processed against the source data to transform the source attributes to the target attributes.

Abstract: Data cleansing and standardization techniques are provided. A user interactively defines rules for cleansing and standardizing data of a source dataset. The rules are applied to the data and varying degrees of results and metrics associated with applying the rules are presented to the user for inspection and analysis.

Abstract: Probabilistic record linking methods and a system are provided. Selections are acquired; the selections identify the two data sources, column identifiers from each of the two data sources, pairs of column identifiers from each of the two data sources, a confidence values for matching each record associated with each pair. The selections are used to compare data housed in the two data sources. Based on the comparison, matched records and non matched records are identified from the two data sources.

Abstract: Techniques for data modeling are provided. Enterprise data is organized into reference data for entities that an enterprise wants to track and monitor. Relationship data is created that establishes relationships among the various entities within the enterprise data. The reference data and the relationship data are published within an enterprise data warehouse for accessing the enterprise data.

Abstract: The present invention is an input/output (I/O) structure for an integrated circuit device which increases the input signal energy transfer characteristic and allows for increased operating frequency of the device. The I/O structure includes a conductive region in a doped region below a semiconductor bond pad. The I/O structure also includes a tapped region coupled to a supply voltage. The I/O structure may also include an output driver transistor layout with a tapped source region to decrease a parasitic series resistance between a drain region and a source voltage.
