Maintainability, Auditability, eXtensibility – MAX Reconciliation
Don’t take this the wrong way, Google Refine 2.0 is a nice piece of work.
But for:
or MAX Reconciliation,
you are going to need something more.
I am not going to pitch an Ur data model to “bind them and in the darkness rule them.”
You and your users understand their subjects and can create the best subject identity model for their data.
I am suggesting that you leave room to make explicit the implicit knowledge that identifies your subjects.
How much of that you want to make explicit is a design choice.
The more subject identifications you do make explicit, the easier reliable reconciliation that can be audited and extended will become.
None of those may be values for your project, but if they are…, well, you know what comes next.
That’s:
“One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them,
One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.”
You left out the finding part. Heh.
