Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general)
Additional field(s): Computers: Software, Computers: Systems, Networks
English term or phrase: data scrubbing
Definition from techopedia:
Data scrubbing refers to the procedure of modifying or removing incomplete, incorrect, inaccurately formatted, or repeated data in a database. The key objective of data scrubbing is to make the data more accurate and consistent.

Example sentence(s):
  • Unsurprisingly, data scrubbing is a high priority in data-intensive industries such as banking/finance, insurance, retail, and telecommunications. simplilearn
  • Instead, I recommend prioritizing data scrubbing as an always-running background process. Commit to data scrubbing to the same degree as the upkeep and maintenance you do in your personal life when picking up after yourself and your things. GetApp
  • On the other hand, data scrubbing tools can help you eliminate errors via automated processes to inspect the data systematically, using different rules and algorithms to identify any flaws and correcting them. Hence, making the process of analysis and business intelligence simpler and more effective. Astera

Datenbereininigung - Data Scrubbin


Definition from Wikipedia:
Zur Datenbereinigung (englisch data cleansing oder data editing) gehören verschiedene Verfahren zum Entfernen und Korrigieren von Datenfehlern in Datenbanken oder anderen Informationssystemen. Die Fehler können beispielsweise aus inkorrekten (ursprünglich falschen oder veralteten), redundanten, inkonsistenten oder falsch formatierten Daten bestehen.

Wesentliche Schritte zur Datenbereinigung sind die Duplikaterkennung (Erkennen und Zusammenlegen von gleichen Datensätzen) und Datenfusion (Zusammenführen und Vervollständigen lückenhafter Daten).

Die Datenbereinigung ist ein Beitrag zur Verbesserung der Informationsqualität. Allerdings betrifft Informationsqualität auch viele weitere Eigenschaften von Datenquellen (Glaubwürdigkeit, Relevanz, Verfügbarkeit, Kosten, …), die sich mittels Datenbereinigung nicht verbessern lassen.

Example sentence(s):
  • Als Datenbereinigung bezeichnet man den Prozess der Korrektur oder des Entfernens von Daten in beziehungsweise aus einer Datenbank, da sie dort in fehlerhafter, unvollständiger, falsch formatierter oder doppelter Form vorliegen. - Computer Weekly  
  • Data Scrubbing Prozess der Verbesserung der Datenqualität mit Hilfe von Software-Tools. Data Scrubbing kann in operationalen Datenbanken oder während des Füllens der Data Warehouses erfolgen. - IT-Schulungen.com  

Explanation:
Im Deutschen meistens Datenbereinigung, ob wohl der englische Terminus auch manchmal beibehalten wird.

Data scrubbing, cleaning und editing ist ein und dasselbe.
