The Michael Stonebraker data-focused start-up company count goes to nine
"In a blog post on why he’s joining Tamr as CEO, Palmer says the company aims to turn raw data sources into “high octane information fuel” for making better decisions. He describes Tamr as a “data curation” startup, creating detailed maps of all the data sources at a company, and working with providers of visualization tools to display them. Tamr’s software does some of the work to annotate the information in a database — for instance, understanding that a particular field contains information about the customer’s latest purchase. But it also can enlist the help of human “data stewards,” employees who are knowledgable about a particular database, to describe fields that it is confused about."Tamr, formerly Data Tamer, wants to help map a company’s data sources | BetaBoston
