Before you Begin
In this 10-minute tutorial, you learn how to upload a custom knowledge reference file to create semantic types for classification and enrichment in your datasets, and verify the availability of the custom semantic types.
Background
You can add a custom knowledge reference file to create semantic types for classification and enrichment of the data you use in Oracle Analytics. Your custom semantic types augment the system knowledge semantic types used to identify and profile data used in Oracle Analytics. You could add custom semantic types that are relevant to business such as product names, codes, and other types of alphanumeric data. Your custom semantic types can provide enrichment and transformation recommendations for your user datasets with information such as customer knowledge and product information.
If you have misspellings of supplier, manufacturer, place names, or other misspellings in your data, you can use a custom knowledge reference file to standardize those names during data preparation. After uploading your custom knowledge reference file with standardized names, Oracle Analytics automatically detects the columns containing the keys, and provides a recommendation to standardize all of the applicable names in the dataset.
What Do You Need?
- Access to Oracle Analytics Cloud with administrator privileges
- Download usp_drug_classification2.csv to your computer
This is a sample file. For the actual and latest USP Drug Classification file, visit USP Healthcare Quality & Safety Standards USP Drug Classification.
- Download medicare_partd_provider_file.xlsx to your computer
Upload Your Custom Knowledge Reference File
- Sign in to Oracle Analytics with your administrator credentials.
- On your home page, click the Navigator
, and then click Console.
- In the Console, click Data Enrichments.
- Under the Custom Knowledge list, click Add Custom Knowledge
. Locate and
usp_drug_classification2.csv
file, and then click Open. - In Create Custom Knowledge usp_drug_classification2, enter a Name or keep the default name, and then click OK.
- Click Go back
.
Test Your Custom Semantic Types
In the section, you add a data source to verify that your custom semantic types are available for use in transformations or enrichments.
- Click the Navigator
, and then click Home
.
- On your home page, click Create, and then select Dataset.
- In Create Dataset, click Drop data file here or click to browse. In File Upload, select the
medicare_partd_provider_file.xlsx
, and then click Open. - In Create Dataset Table from medicare_partd_provider_file.xlsx, click OK.
- Click Save
. In Save Dataset As, enter
medicare_partd_provider_file
in Name, and then click OK.Description of the illustration prepare_recs.png - Click the medicare_partd_provider_file tab.
- Select the pres med column.
The recommendations list shows enrichments that you can apply to the prescription medication (pres med) column. Oracle Analytics provides these enrichment recommendations using the semantic types in the custom knowledge reference that you added through the Console.
