Abstract
Methods are provided for semantic processing of data files including detecting formats of data embedded in the data files and converting the data to formats compatible with a data analysis tool. The method may comprise determining if the data file comprises signature characteristics associated with a known data format and, if so, determining a set of data manipulation operations associated with the known data format to convert the data file to a compatible format for the data analysis tool. The method may further comprise semantically analyzing components of the data files to assess formatting across a required set of criterions needed by the data analysis tool and determining sets of data manipulation operations to perform to convert the data file to a compatible format.
