Abstract: A data processing system for discovering a semantic meaning of a field included in one or more data sets is configured to identify a field included in one or more data sets, with the field having an identifier. For that field, the system profiles data values of the field to generate a data profile, accesses a plurality of label proposal tests, and generates a set of label proposals by applying the plurality of label proposal tests to the data profile. The system determines a similarity among the label proposals and selects a classification. The system identifies one of the label proposals as identifying the semantic meaning. The system stores the identifier of the field with the identified one of the label proposals that identifies the semantic meaning.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for database key identification. One of the methods includes receiving an identification of a first field in a first data set, the first data set including records. The method includes identifying a set of values, the set including, for each record, a value associated with the field. The method includes generating a filter mask based on the set of values, where application of the filter mask is capable of determining that a given value is not in the set of values. The method includes receiving a second data set including a second field, the second data set including records. The method includes determining a count of a number of records in the second data set having a value associated with the second field that passes the filter mask. The method also includes storing the count in a profile.
