Overlap discovery provides information about overlapping data in pairs of columns within a data source or multiple data sources. You can find overlapping data from an enterprise discovery profile. You can validate the profile results and view the results in a Venn diagram.
Overlap discovery identifies overlapping data based on either the default settings or the settings you specify. You can overrride the default settings and specify inference options, including the maximum number of top pairs the overlap discovery returns based on the percentage of overlap. You can also specify a confidence level that determines the eligibility for overlap discovery.
