Overview

Tabular Data Manager offers facilities supporting the management of the entire life-cycle(creation, curation, manipulation and publication) of Tabular Resources such as datasets, codelist or generic table. i.e. tabular data representing observations of a given event or phenomenon at different time intervals. Tabular Resource are used in many domains ranging from statistics to signal processing and econometrics. Tabular Data Manager offers a rich set of facilities ranging from those supporting the assessment of data correctness to those supporting the verification of the compliance of data with given code lists, the aggregation and filtering of data.
