What's New<br />
What's New<br />
This release contains the following new and changed features.<br />
Address Now Module<br />
Support for First Quarter 2012 Address Now Data<br />
This release adds support for the First Quarter 2012 Address Now data. This support was previously<br />
released as 7.0 S24. You must install the 7.0 S24 product update or upgrade to <strong>Spectrum</strong> Technology<br />
Platform 8.0 in order to use the Q1 2012 data.<br />
Advanced Matching Module<br />
Jaro-Winkler Algorithm in Matching Stages<br />
The Advanced Matching Module now includes the Jaro-Winkler algorithm as a Child Option in the Interflow<br />
Match, Intraflow Match, and Transactional Match stages. This algorithm refers to the Jaro–Winkler distance,<br />
which is a measure of similarity between two strings. It estimates the number of character replacements<br />
it takes to transform one string into another. The higher the Jaro–Winkler distance for two strings<br />
is, the more similar the strings are. The Jaro–Winkler distance metric was developed and is best suited<br />
for short strings such as personal names. The score is normalized such that 0 equates to no similarity<br />
and 1 is an exact match.<br />
Business Steward Module<br />
Field Filtering in Write Exceptions<br />
The Write Exceptions stage now enables you to select which fields' data should be returned to the exceptions<br />
repository.<br />
Drill Down from Charts to Editor<br />
The Business Steward Portal now allows you to drill down from chart categories to the editor view so<br />
that you can see the specific records that comprise a particular category in a chart.<br />
Data Hub Module<br />
2<br />
New Module: The Data Hub Module<br />
The new Data Hub Module offers a complete suite of Master Data Management (MDM) capabilities. The<br />
Data Hub Module provides a persistent hub to manage not only single views of your most critical data<br />
assets, but also takes a unique approach in the marketplace, providing you with a relationship-centric<br />
view across domains and across connected networks of obvious and non-obvious relationships.<br />
By using the new Write to Hub stage with input data, you can define models that represent the entities<br />
and the relationships between those entities. You can interact with models in three ways:<br />
• Visually, by using the Relationship Analysis Client<br />
