The Entity Reconciliation Community Group has been proposed by Antonin Delpeuch:<\/p>\n
Matching entities across data sources using different identifiers and formats is a pervasive issue on the web.<\/p>\n
This group revolves around developing a web API that data providers can expose, which eases the reconciliation of third-party data to their own identifiers. OpenRefine’s reconciliation API is used as a starting point. Our goals are to document this existing API, share our experiences and lessons learnt from it, propose an improved protocol in the view of promoting it as a standard, and build tooling around it.<\/p>\n
A description of the existing protocol can be found here:
