摘要

Entity resolution, also known as data matching or record linkage, is the task of identifying and matching records from several databases that refer to the same entities. Entity resolution is an important information quality process required before accurate analyses of entityrelated data are possible. Many health organizations are increasingly faced with the challenge of having large databases containing references to patients, physicians, drugs, and other entities that need to be matched in real-time with a stream of query records also containing entity references. Entity resolution is a core process in health information exchange (HIE) systems that have been evolving to address this problem. In this paper, we introduce a new entity resolution system OYSTER that supports both batch and transactional entity resolution in rela-tional data. OYSTER effectively combines relational entity resolution algorithms with a configurable framework that enables users to make use of an entity's relational context in making resolution decisions. We describe resolution strategies based on pairs or sets of references and show appropriate visualizations for each. Since resolution decisions often are interdependent, OYSTER facilitates understanding this com-plex process through a history mechanism that allows users to inspect chains of resolution decisions. An empirical study with 12 hospitals confirmed the benefits of the relational context visualization on the per-formance of OYSTER in relational data in terms of time as well as users' confidence and satisfaction.
