Today it was also announced that Human Inference, the European data quality authority has finished their acquisition of the eobjects.org site, to actively enter the market for entry-level Open Source data quality products. All projects on eobjects.org will remain open source and the benefit for the community and the products are apparent. The release of DataCleaner 2.0 is the first visible outcome of the acquisition, resulting from several months of intense cooperation between Human Inference and the community members, to put together a state-of-the-art data profiling application.
For more information about the eobjects.org acquisition, see the press release on the Human Inference website.

Wauv! That eobjects.org have been acquired is quite a surprise I think. Hope that you (Human Inference) will bring good things to the product.
Certainly exciting times! For sure Human Inference's involvement will mean a lot, and thankfully for the good. We're already using DataCleaner internally for our knowledge gathering process (actually my boss, Winfried van Holland, just made an excellent blog post about it) and we're also going to be using DataCleaner at customer sites so that kind of deployment will be a big driver to keep innovating and enhancing the product.
