This chapter provides an overview of the data matching process, and describes the five
major steps involved in this process: data pre-processing (cleaning and standardisation) …

Record linkage is the process of matching records from several databases that refer to the
same entities. When applied on a single database, this process is known as deduplication …

This tutorial provides a comprehensive and cohesive overview of the key research results in
the area of record linkage methodologies and algorithms for identifying approximate …

Record linkage is the task of quickly and accurately identifying records corresponding to the
same entity from one or more data sources. Record linkage is also known as data cleaning …

In an error-free system with perfectly clean data, the construction of a global view of the data
consists of linking-in relational terms, joining-two or more tables on their key fields …

Record linkage, the problem of determining when two records refer to the same entity, has
applications for both data cleaning (deduplication) and for integrating data from multiple …

Data quality has many dimensions one of which is accuracy. Accuracy is usually
compromised by errors accidentally or intensionally introduced in a database system. These …

Deduplicating one data set or linking several data sets are increasingly important tasks in
the data preparation steps of many data mining projects. The aim of such linkages is to …

The task of linking databases is an important step in an increasing number of data mining
projects, because linked data can contain information that is not available otherwise, or that …
