Résumé:
Data fusion is concerned with the problem of merging data bases coming from different sources into a single data base when variables are absent or missing in some files.
After a survey of the main techniques we present some new approaches, in particular one based on homogeneity analysis and future directions.
We insist on validation problems and caveats.
