My team at Airbnb is working on a tool called "Salus" - named after the Roman goddess of hygiene - that allows you to check the correctness of your data in a number of common, extensible ways. Perhaps this is something that the open-source community at large might be interested in?
- rgejman 12y agoInteresting. I'd love to hear the details.
- Chronic29 12y agoNo you wouldn't.
- christopheraden 12y agoI'd be interested. Any tool that checks correctness is one less thing I have to write before I begin my analyses.
- hmason 12y agoyes.
- palewire 12y agoYes. This is something that could be useful to data journalists, who often have to quickly grip and rip new datasets.
- jcdreads 12y agoI have rolled an extensive (purpose-built) general data quality system at work, and would love for there to be a general purpose tool that does the same sort of thing. I would love to use, contribute to, or otherwise make real an open source version of such a tool. There is an enormous need in several industries for this sort of thing; but most people don't really know they need it yet.
- twone2 12y agoAbsolutely - please keep me updated on progress!
- ehurrell 12y agoDefinitely something I'd be interested in taking a look at, I imagine others would as well!
- joncooper 12y agoYes.
- pbnjay 12y agoSounds intriguing... Is it something rule-based where I have to define things ahead of time, or can it infer stuff - for example highlighting outliers in an automatically detected numeric field?
- seancron 12y agoAbsolutely. Would definitely be interested in hearing more about it.
