AUTOMATICALLY IDENTIFYING MATCHING RECORDS FROM MULTIPLE DATA SOURCES

摘要

A system identifies matching records from two or more different data sources. The system applies a scoring algorithm to identify potential matching pairs of records. A score is provided for each candidate pair of records. Records are pre-filtered based on predefined attributes. The scoring algorithm is applied to the filtered records. A set of potential matches are provided with a corresponding score. The set of potential matches are presented in a descending score order. A decision may be made for a best match based on the scores.

1. A method executed at least in part in a computing device to automatically select matching records from data sources, the method comprising:
identifying at least two datasets from the data sources; filtering the at least two datasets to determine the matching records; identifying candidate matching pairs from the matching records; computing a score for each of the candidate matching pairs; and identifying a most likely match based on the score.
