Overall process
Deduplication is the task of finding records in a data set (MPI) that refer to the same Person
Deduplication also includes following sub-tasks:
- Determine master record of duplicated pair
- Terminate declarations that refer to the merged record
- Deactivate oldest record
- Link merged records
Configuration
Process configuration
| Parameter | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| DEDUPLICATION_SCHEDULE | (Cron Format) How often to perform deduplication | `* 1 * * *` |
| DEDUPLICATION_DEPTH | (days, integer >=0) Search candidates for records created in DEDUPLICATION_DEPTH days
| 1 |
| DEDUPLICATION_SCORE | (number) Record pair with score greater than DEDUPLICATION_SCORE must be merged | 0.8 |

Weight value format - array of numbers, [Match, Non-match]
| Parameter | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| DEDUPLICATION_TAX_ID | (array of numbers) Person.tax_id | [0.1, -0.1] |
| DEDUPLICATION_FIRST_NAME | (array of numbers) Person.first_name | [0.1, -0.1] |
| DEDUPLICATION_LAST_NAME | (array of numbers) Person.last_name | [0.1, -0.1] |
| DEDUPLICATION_SECOND_NAME | (array of numbers) Person.second_name | [0.1, -0.1] |
| DEDUPLICATION_BIRTH_DATE | (array of numbers) Person.birth_date | [0.1, -0.1] |
| DEDUPLICATION_DOCUMENT | (array of numbers) Person.documents | [0.1, -0.1] |

| DEDUPLICATION_PHONE_NUMBER | (array of numbers) Person.phones | [0.1, -0.1] |
Specification
| Info |
|---|
| Start Deduplication process on DEDUPLICATION_SCHEDULE |
Get candidates list
- Read DEDUPLICATION_DEPTH parameter value. If DEDUPLICATION_DEPTH == 0, analyze the whole period
- Fetch records from MPI.person created in DEDUPLICATION_DEPTH
Get record from list
Get Data Set
- Fetch records (Data Set) from MPI.person to perform matching
- For each record in Data Set init matching procesdure
Match records
Match records
Matching procedure is performed on a pair of records (candidate, Data Set.record) and compare the corresponding parameters with each other using exact match
- Read comparison attributes from configuration (see Person attribute weight)
- Compare each attribute of a pair of records
...
| Attribute | Result |
|---|---|
| tax_id | Match |
| first_name | Non-match |
| last_name | Match |
| second_name | Match |
| birth_date | Non-match |
| document | Non-match |
| national_id | Match |
| phone_number | Match |
Score result
- Score match result using Person attribute weight and calculate total
Example:
| Attribute | Result | Score |
|---|---|---|
| tax_id | Match | 0.1 |
| first_name | Non-match | -0.1 |
| last_name | Match | 0.1 |
| second_name | Match | 0.1 |
| birth_date | Non-match | -0.1 |
| document | Non-match | -0.1 |
| national_id | Match | 0.1 |
| phone_number | Match | 0.1 |
| Total: | 0.2 |
Save duplicated record to DB
If total score greater than DEDUPLICATION_SCORE, save duplicated records to DB
Merge records (IL)
Get unmerged records
Get all records with status == 'NEW'
Terminate all person declarations
For each record terminate its declarations
Merge MPI
...
Merge candidate
Update record status, set status to 'MERGED' and update merged record to inactive
...
