Abstract:
1. A method for performing data hygiene, comprising: obtaining an input data record of an input file maintained in remote storage; storing said input data record in a local memory; processing said input data record, through a series of updating processes successively performed at least one time, wherein said input data record is a first input for a first updating process which results in a first output, wherein an input for each of said updating processes, after said first updating process, is an output from a most previous updating process, wherein a reference file from a plurality of reference files is only used for a single updating process and a different reference file is used for each of said updating processes, and wherein after said at least one time of performing said updating processes a final output stored in local memory is a cleansed input data record, wherein said updating processes comprise: outputting said cleansed input data record from said local memory to said remote storage, wherein said input data record is retrieved from said remote storage a single time for performing data hygiene.
