As a data integration platform, Talend Open Studio, allows to do all these operations :

  • Standardization : define your standard schema, map your data with these standardize schema
  • cleansing of source data : auditing your database with Talend Data Quality can be interesting before cleansing your data. When you detected some wrong records, you can then proceed to data cleansing with Talend Open Studio components.
  • Deduplication of records : combining the tmap, tUniqRow and tAggregateRow can solve duplicated data.
  • Match : the tMap join model allows to match data between 2 data sources, with different join model (Inner / Outer join). You can also fuzzy matching techniques to map your data.
  • Merge : tAggregateRow allows to merge data for a defined key column.

Depending of your requirements on "versioning control of data", SCD components could do the job.

Talend MDM server can be used when you need to create a repository to put your reference data, and make them available (through web services for example) all over your information system.
