Tamr to Provide Free, Standalone Version of Tamr Catalog Tool
From the webpage:
…
Tamr Catalog was announced in February as part of the Tamr Platform for enterprise data unification. Using Tamr Catalog, enterprises can quickly inventory all the data that exists in the enterprise, regardless of type, platform or source. With today’s announcement of a free, standalone version of Tamr Catalog, enterprises can now speed and standardize data inventorying, making more data visible and readily usable for analytics.Tamr Catalog is a free, standalone tool that allows businesses to logically map the attributes and records of a given data source with the entity it actually represents. This speeds time-to- analytics by reducing the amount of time spent searching for data.
…
That all sounds interesting but rather short on how the Tamr Catalog Tool will make that happen.
Download the whitepaper? Its all of two (2) pages long. Genuflects to 90% of data being dark, etc. but not a whisper on how the Tamr Catalog Tool will cure that darkness.
Oh, it will cost you your email address to get the two page flyer and you won’t be any better informed than before.
Let’s all hope they discover how to make the Tamr Catalog Tool perform these miracles before it is released this coming summer.
I do think the increasing interest in “dark data” bodes well for topic maps.
