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 />
