Oyster 3.1

Oyster - Entity Resolution engine for your use.

Entity Resolution engine for your use.

Oyster is designed to be an accessible and Open Source Entity Resolution engine.

Entity Resolution is the process by which a dataset is processed and records are identified in the dataset that represent the same real-world entity.

Oyster is designed to be easily configurable through the use of several, run-time XML scripts that define such things as the format and locations of reference sources to be processed, access to previously defined identity structures, identity rules and associated matching algorithms, as well as many parameters that adjust system performance to particular ER applications.

These scripts allow Oyster to be configured to run in different ER modes or architectures including record linking/merge-purge, identity resolution, identity capture, and identity update.

Requirements:

- Java
