DataRefiner Factory

InQuera specializes in Product Data Quality (PDQ)...

DataRefiner Factory automates the process of consolidating raw, dirty product data from diverse sources into rationalized master data.

The DataRefiner Factory data refinement process —
  • Formalizes product descriptions into a tokenized, translated, formal structure
  • Clusters products into homogenous clusters based on the product description
  • Classifies products according to any given taxonomy system
  • Extracts values from product descriptions and assigns them to the relevant attribute
  • Identifies duplicate or similar products based on their technical attributes-values, according to the user's strategy
  • Generates standardized product descriptions in any language, length, or structure
The result: Consolidated, organized, classified, standardized, and tabulated product data. DataRefiner Factory comprises several subsystems, various lexicons, and knowledge bases. Learn more about DataRefiner's subsystems.

DataRefiner uses its high-performance product data quality solution to clean up dirty product data. For example, the product descriptions below are from a global company’s purchasing departments located in Korea, Israel, the United States, and Germany, actually describe the same product, an Allen screw.

2. ALLEN SCR M10x30 stainless steel
3. SOCKET BOLT M10x1 LG30 SS
4. M10x1mmx30mm SHCS-SS
