Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for automated classification of data using fingerprints. In embodiments, a method includes: generating, by a computing device based on predetermined rules, a fingerprint of a data column in a data set to be classified, the fingerprint comprising dimensions, wherein each of the dimension is assigned an attribute representing a characteristic of data in the data column; determining, by the computing device, that the fingerprint matches one or more target fingerprints by comparing the fingerprint to the target fingerprints, wherein each target fingerprint is associated with a class and includes dimensions, and each dimension is assigned an attribute representing a characteristic of data in the class; and assigning, by the computing device, one or more classes to the data column based on the one or more target fingerprints, thereby generating classified data.
