Patterns are sets of strings against which you can match the content of the columns to be analyzed.

Indicators can be the results achieved through the implementation of different patterns that are used to define the content, structure, and quality of your data. Indicators represent as well the results of highly complex analyses related not only to data matching, but also to different other data-related operations.
