One of the ways to access data cleansing functionality in the Informatica Data Quality product is through Web services that Informatica publishes. This chapter describes how, in your Informatica MDM Hub implementation, to set up and use the MDM Cleanse Adapter for Informatica Data Quality (Web Services) to access cleanse functions that are published as Web services.

This functionality allows you add a new type of cleanse library - an IDQ cleanse library - to your Informatica MDM Hub implementation, and then integrate cleanse functions in the IDQ library into your mappings, just as you would integrate any other type of cleanse function available in your Informatica MDM Hub implementation. Informatica MDM Hub acts as a Web service client application that consumes Informatica Web services.

If you do not use the Informatica IDQ cleanse engine, you can skip this chapter.
