Merging of entities Sample Clauses

Merging of entities. The de-duplication service operates over the set of original entities of the same main type (i.e., Person, Organization, Result, DataSource, Project) and identifies groups of entities which are redundantly describing the same entity. For each group, the service identifies a representative entity, which by default is the one with the higher level of trust among the duplicates (if more entities have the same level of trust, the one with the shorter identifier is selected). The remaining duplicate entities (merged entities) will not be visible to end- users and will point to the representative entity. However, in the case merged entities bear values for properties which are unavailable (empty values) for the representative entity, such values will be used for indexing and visualization purposes (“shadow entity” strategy). Hence, the ordering of the entities plays an important role in establishing their usage within the information space. The second de-duplication phase occurs after a number of inference actions which may introduce further duplication. In this context, if a group of duplicates includes a representative entity, then all entities merged into the latter are included in the new group and a new representative entity is elected. Merging introduces further issues, which regard the strategy to be adopted to cope with linked entities, static entities, and structural entities associated with entities that were merged and should therefore be excluded from the set of visible entities. In other words, in order to offer a coherent view of the space, all entities “sourrounding” merged entities must be altered in order not to be associated with with the representative entity. For example, merging two Publication p1 and p2 into p1 implies that Project, Authors, Instance, and Subject entities of p2 will be linked to p1 (avoiding duplicated associations in the case p1 already points to the same entities). Note that Title and Date structural entities are considere part of a single Result and will not be linked to the representative entity. To this aim the data model needs to represent the possibility of adding a new relationship with a status Inferred, which encodes such re-linking, withouth losing the original relationship (in order to “clean” the inferred information and return to the original layer of entities). As shown in Figure 10, this requires a major change, since explicit relationships between entities, such as collectedFrom, become explicit relationshi...
