Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 5:
6. The method of claim 3, wherein the establishing of the one or more linkage relations includes applying an algorithm that includes:, Input: A set E of entities

 
Output: A relation function~: E × E → {0,1}

For each e1 ϵ E {

 Block = MatchingCandidatesOf(e1)

 For each e2 ϵ Block {

  1. Collect similarity scores between e1 and e2

   according to attributes selected

  2. Determine weights among attributes and

   determine similarity cut off and linkages

  3. Merge and standardize entities among linked

   entities

  4. Repeat Steps 1-3 based on standardized

   entities till no more merges cannot be

   performed

  5. Assign ~(e1, e2) = 1 if e1~e2 and ~(e1, e2) =

   0 otherwise

 }

}

Return ~.
