What

The Lightweight Engine for Data quality Control (ledc for short), is a simple and fast engine for monitoring and improving data quality. It is an initiative to bring innovations in data quality closer to practice. All modules are implemented in Java and require Java 8 or higher.

The ledc framework is not a big chunk of software, but is designed in a modular fashion. Each module is targeted at solving a specific data quality task. The main idea recurring in all modules, is to keep a balance between expressiveness and simplicity. This allows to build powerful tools that operate lightning fast on your data.

Who

Ledc is the result of academic research in the field of data quality performed at the DDCM lab of Ghent University. The repositories that contain the code also mention scientific publications where the ideas used in ledc are explained.
