Hi all,

At the behest of Greg and some of the other ServiceNet members, we’re putting together a small demo of the Record Matcher tool. This is an interface we created to deduplicate and verify duplicates in Enterprise Directory datasets. It’s being used and progressively improved to filter out duplicates before publication in Illinois and, soon, Washington State.

If you are interested in data collaboration and federation, you might find this really interesting. Please sign up using the link below.

Cheers!

Thanks @skyleryoung . I’m excited about this, and it’s scheduled right after the HSDS technical committee meeting so hopefully folks can join from there.

This is of interest to anyone interested in aggregating resource data from multiple sources. See Skyler’s new post on our blog here: [Busting Silos with the Record Matcher: Here’s How We Leverage AI for Entity Resolution – Open Referral](https://openreferral.org/busting-silos-with-the-record-matcher-heres-how-we-leverage-ai-for-entity-resolution/)
