According to Gartner, “Data preparation is an iterative and agile process for exploring, combining, cleaning, and transforming raw data into curated datasets for self-service data integration, data science, data discovery, and BI/analytics. To perform data preparation, data preparation tools are used by analysts, citizen data scientists and data scientists for self-service. The tools are also used by citizen integrators and data engineers for data enablement to reduce the time and complexity of interactively accessing, cataloging, harmonizing, transforming, and modeling data for analytics in an agile manner with metadata and lineage support.”
