Data Integration:

Analysis,
Reconciliation, and
Mapping
Data integration is a complex process involving multiple phases and considerations.
It requires careful analysis of data sources, reconciliation of disparate information,
and mapping of data elements across systems.
Analysis and Reconciliation of
Data Sources
1 Data Profiling
Assess the structure, content, and quality of data from various sources to
understand its characteristics.

2 Data Quality Assessment


Identify inconsistencies, errors, and gaps in the data, including missing values,
duplicate records, and outliers.

3 Data Matching and Merging


Identify and align related records across different data sources, combining data
into a single dataset while resolving conflicts.
Inspecting and Normalizing Schemata
Schema Analysis Normalization Rules Denormalization

Review the structure of database Apply normalization principles (1NF, When necessary, apply
schemas, including tables, columns, 2NF, 3NF) to reduce data denormalization for performance

Solutions to Integration Problems

Data Standardization Data Cleaning


Convert data into a common format or Remove or correct erroneous data to improve
structure to ensure consistency across sources. overall data quality.

Master Data Management ETL Processes


Create a single, authoritative source of truth for Use Extract, Transform, Load processes to
critical data elements. systematically integrate data from multiple
sources.
Integration Phases
Data Extraction
Collect data from different sources, connecting to various databases, APIs, files,
or other data repositories.

Data Transformation
Convert data into a common format, apply business rules, and transform to
match the target schema.

Data Loading
Insert the transformed data into the target database or data warehouse,
ensuring data integrity and consistency.

Data Validation and Monitoring


Verify data quality, run tests, and continuously monitor the integrated data for
quality and performance.
Defining Mapping
Attribute Mapping Define how attributes from
source data map to
attributes in the target
schema
Schema Mapping Align the overall structure of
source and target schemas

Transformation Rules Specify rules for


transforming source data
into the target format

Key Mapping Ensure primary and foreign


keys are correctly mapped to
maintain data relationships
Conclusion: Ensuring Successful
Data Integration
1 Comprehensive Analysis
Thoroughly analyze and reconcile data sources to understand their characteristics and quality.

2 Proper Schema Management


Inspect and normalize schemata to ensure data integrity and efficiency.

3 Problem Solving
Address common integration problems with appropriate solutions and best practices.

4 Structured Approach
Follow a systematic integration process and define clear data mappings for successful outcomes.
