Data Management

This section covers how to get your data into RootCause.ai and prepare it for analysis.


Getting Data In

Uploading Datasets

Import data from files (CSV, Parquet, Excel, JSON) or connect to external sources like databases and APIs. Datasets are the raw material for all analysis in RootCause.ai.


Preparing Data

Data Views

Transform and combine datasets into analysis-ready views. Apply filters, joins, aggregations, and other operations without modifying your source data.


Organizing Data

Ontology Concepts

Unify columns across datasets by mapping them to common concepts. When "customer_id" in one dataset means the same thing as "cust_id" in another, ontology concepts link them together.


Workflow

A typical data workflow in RootCause.ai:

  1. Upload or connect – Bring data into the platform via files or connectors

  2. Create a Data View – Join, filter, and transform as needed

  3. Tag ontology concepts – Help RootCause.ai understand your data structure

  4. Build a Digital Twin – Use your prepared Data View for causal discovery

For data connector setup, see the Data Connectors section.
