- APIs & data deliveryCompany Data APIA company data API is an interface through which software can request or receive information about businesses. It may support searches, entity lookups, enrichment or other operations, depending on the provider. An API changes how data is delivered; it does not, by itself, establish where that data came from or what it proves.
- APIs & data deliveryBulk Data FeedA bulk data feed delivers a defined collection of records for file-based or large-scale processing.
- APIs & data deliveryDelta FeedA delta feed delivers changes relative to a defined earlier data state.
- APIs & data deliveryWebhookA webhook sends an event notification to a configured endpoint when a defined condition occurs.
- APIs & data deliveryBatch ProcessingBatch processing handles a group of records as a defined processing job rather than one interactive request at a time.
- Entity matching & transformationEntity ResolutionEntity resolution determines whether different records refer to the same real-world entity. For company data, it connects names, identifiers, addresses and other evidence while distinguishing similar but unrelated businesses. A resolved match should be explainable, especially when it changes ownership, risk or a commercial workflow.
- Entity matching & transformationData DeduplicationData deduplication identifies and handles records treated as duplicates under a defined identity policy.
- Entity matching & transformationData NormalisationData normalisation converts values to a consistent representation for a defined use.
- Entity matching & transformationFuzzy MatchingFuzzy matching compares values using similarity measures rather than requiring exact equality.
- Entity matching & transformationDeterministic MatchingDeterministic matching applies explicit rules to determine matches from specified fields.
- Data quality & provenanceData ProvenanceData provenance records where information came from and how it was obtained or transformed.
- Data quality & provenanceData FreshnessData freshness describes how recently information reflects a relevant source or event.
- Data quality & provenanceData CompletenessData completeness measures the presence of required or expected information within a defined scope.
- Data quality & provenanceData AccuracyData accuracy concerns how well information corresponds to the correct value or real-world condition for its intended use.
- Data quality & provenanceData LineageData lineage tracks the path of data through sources, transformations and destinations.
- Master company dataMaster Data Management (MDM)Master data management governs the consistent identification and maintenance of core business entities across systems.
- Master company dataGolden RecordA golden record is a consolidated representation selected under defined rules for an entity’s attributes.
- Master company dataSingle Source of TruthA single source of truth is the designated authoritative representation for a defined set of information.
