Developer Tool Reference Data Overview
You can create, update, and view the configuration properties for reference data objects in the Developer tool.
Use the Developer tool to create and update the following types of object:
- Reference tables
- A reference table contains the standard version and alternative versions of a set of data values. You add a reference table to a transformation in the Developer tool to verify that source data values are accurate and correctly formatted.
- Content Sets
- A content set is a Model repository object that specifies reference data values in the repository or in a file. A content set contains different types of reference data that you can use to perform search operations in data quality transformations.
You can also work with address reference data files and identity population files in the Developer tool. You select address reference data files when you configure an Address Validator transformation. You select identity population files when you configure a Match transformation for identity match analysis.
