The present disclosure related to techniques for analyzing data from multiple different data sources to determine a relationship between the data (also referred to herein a “data relationship discovery”). The relationships between any two compared datasets may be used to determine one or more recommendations for merging (e.g., joining), or “blending,” the data sets together. Relationship discovery may include determining a relationship between a subset of data, such as a relationship between a pair of columns, or column pair, each column in a different dataset of the datasets that are compared. Given two datasets to process for relationship discovery, relationship discovery may identify and recommends a ranked subset of column pairs between two compared datasets. The ranked column pairs identified as a relationship may be useful for blending the datasets with respect to those column pairs.
