Record Linkage System

A Record Linkage System is a co-reference resolution system that can solve a record linkage task (by implementing a record linkage algorithm).

• AKA: Duplicate Record Detection System, Coreferent Record Detection System.
• Context:
  • It can be a Domain Specific Record Linkage System, such as a Person Record Duplicate Detection System.
  • It can range from being a Heuristic Record Linkage System to being a Data-Driven Record Linkage System.
  • It can support a Data Merge/Purge System.
  • It can range from being a Duplicate Record Detection System to being a Inter-Database Record Linkage Task.
• Example(s):
  • Febrl System.
  • a Supervised Taxonomy Matching System.
  • a Person Databases Linkage System.
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • a Record Schema Matching System.
  • a Coreferent Mention Resolution System.
  • a Record Canonicalization System.
• See: Data Processing System.
