Towards an Open Source Toolkit for Building Record Linkage Workflows
Record linkage has been subject of research for several decades, and a huge number of record linkage solutions have been proposed, based on probabilistic and empirical paradigms. However, record linkage is a complex process, for the execution of which one single technique is often not enough; it can be seen as composed by distinct phases, each requiring a specific technique and depending on giv...
متن کاملA Toolbox for Record Linkage
We developed a record-linkage toolbox in order to compare the performance of various string-similarity measures for German surnames. This ”Matching Tool-Box” (MTB) is made up by independent, highly portable JAVA-programs. MTB is currently used for prototyping pre-processing tools and the empirical comparison of string-similarity measures. Furthermore, MTB has been used successfully in sociologi...

متن کاملRecord Linkage
R linkage, in the present context, is simply the bringing together of information from two records that are believed to relate to the same entity—for example, the same individual, the same family, or the same business. This might involve the linking of records within a single database to identify duplicate case records. Alternatively, record linkage might involve the linking of records across t...
متن کاملA simple heuristic for blindfolded record linkage
OBJECTIVES To address the challenge of balancing privacy with the need to create cross-site research registry records on individual patients, while matching the data for a given patient as he or she moves between participating sites. To evaluate the strategy of generating anonymous identifiers based on real identifiers in such a way that the chances of a shared patient being accurately identifi...
