If the duplicate records are truly duplicates, then I'd call it data
cleansing.

Otherwise, I'd call it a big mistake.

Subject: [RM] Semantic Question

I would like to know if there is a technical term for doing the
following to a list.

I have a list of field names that contains duplications, as follows:

AA002
AA003
AA003
AA005
AA007
AA007
AA008

I have software that will "collapse" this list to an unduplicated set as
follows:

AA002
AA003
AA005
AA007
AA008

I wish to know what the technical term is for the "collapsing" process.
Or, just what do records management people call it while standing around
the water cooler?

Thanks much,

Ron
