The concept of “data repair” comes from the realization that legacy information stores were often created without fully verifying the input. Sometimes the stores were created by combining multiple sources with different formats with a less than ideal result. While it is not always possible to replace missing information, it is often possible to fix that which is blatantly wrong. An example would be postal codes mismatched with locales. Also, it is sometimes possible to correct data by matching it against other data sources known to be accurate.

Rather than just moving the data through simple filters, we create interface programs with intuitive logic to “scrub” the data replacing known errors, bad abbreviations, or misspellings with intelligent choices.
