  2. Transcription error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcription_error

    Unfortunately, this situation is likely to get worse before it gets better, as workload for users and workers using manual direct data entry (DDE) devices increases. Double entry (or more) may also be leveraged to minimize transcription or transposition error, but at the cost of a reduced number of entries per unit time.

  3. Data cleansing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_cleansing

    Data cleansing may also involve harmonization (or normalization) of data, which is the process of bringing together data of "varying file formats, naming conventions, and columns", [2] and transforming it into one cohesive data set; a simple example is the expansion of abbreviations ("st, rd, etc." to "street, road, etcetera").

  4. Data entry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_entry

    Data entry is the process of digitizing data by entering it into a computer system for organization and management purposes. It is a person-based process [ 1 ] and is "one of the important basic" [ 2 ] tasks needed when no machine-readable version of the information is readily available for planned computer-based analysis or processing.

  5. Data deduplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_deduplication

    In computing, data deduplication is a technique for eliminating duplicate copies of repeating data. Successful implementation of the technique can improve storage utilization, which may in turn lower capital expenditure by reducing the overall amount of storage media required to meet storage capacity needs.

  6. Cut, copy, and paste - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cut,_copy,_and_paste

    Clipboard data is later inserted wherever a paste command is issued. The data remains available to any application supporting the feature, thus allowing easy data transfer between applications. The command names are an interface metaphor based on the physical procedure used in manuscript print editing to create a page layout, like with paper.

  7. Data validation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_validation

    Data validation is intended to provide certain well-defined guarantees for fitness and consistency of data in an application or automated system. Data validation rules can be defined and designed using various methodologies, and be deployed in various contexts. [1]

  8. Bloom filter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom_filter

    By allowing a false positive rate for the duplicates, the communication volume can be reduced further as the PEs don't have to send elements with duplicated hashes at all and instead any element with a duplicated hash can simply be marked as a duplicate. As a result, the false positive rate for duplicate detection is the same as the false ...

  9. Unique key - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_key

    In SQL, the unique keys have a UNIQUE constraint assigned to them in order to prevent duplicates (a duplicate entry is not valid in a unique column). Alternate keys may be used like the primary key when doing a single-table select or when filtering in a where clause, but are not typically used to join multiple tables.
