Updated: 03/25/2020 Time to read: 9 minutes ![]() Earlier this year, my colleague John Harrington wrote an article for Control Engineering that I think is worth sharing here as well. The article introduces a concept and process that gained popularity as early as the 1970s: Extract, Transform, Load—or more commonly known as ETL. An ETL system extracts data from the source systems, enforces data quality and consistency standards, conforms data so that separate sources can be used together, and finally delivers data in a presentation-ready format so that application developers can build applications and end users can make decisions (Kimball and Caserta, 2004). So why are we still talking about this acronym 50 years later? Because the unique challenges of working with industrial operations data demand a new look at an old concept. |
