An Inter-Database Record Linkage System is a record linkage system that can solve an Inter-Database Record Linkage Task.

• AKA: Record Deduplication System.
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):

  • QUOTE: To investigate the state of the art in this respect we comparatively analyze 11 proposed entity matching frameworks. We focus on research prototypes but do not consider the more general system approaches on data cleaning and data integration, such as AJAX [27] and Potters’s Wheel [48]. We also exclude commercial systems such as ChoiceMaker, DataCleanser (EDD), Merge/Purge Library (Sagent/QM Software) or MasterMerge (Pitney Bowes) from our discussion since they are not widely available and their algorithms are not described in the public literature.
