Entity suspect management
The entity suspect management framework and entity data stewardship framework work together to provide a mechanism for a domain specific entity, such as a product, to implement the suspected duplicate processing capabilities.
The two frameworks discussed are the entity suspect management framework and the entity data stewardship framework.
The purpose of these frameworks is to provide users with the following:
- A reusable suspect processing pattern to support specialized domains.
- Support for the creation of entity suspected duplicate and maintain it through its life cycle.
- Search and inquiry of entity suspect records.
- Support for resolving entity duplicate records by collapsing suspected duplicates.
- Support for splitting one entity into two and identifying the two new entities as suspected duplicates.
- A comparative preview of entity suspected duplicates before collapsing them.
- A preview for undoing a consolidated entity in case source entities were mistakenly collapsed.
- Traceability of entity suspected duplicates resolution (collapse, undo collapse, and split).
The implementation of the framework is generic and free from any
domain specific attributes or functionality. The framework codes exist
in the BusinessServices project.
- The entity suspect management framework helps to implement suspect management services, and is detailed as part of the InfoSphere® MDM architecture.
- The entity data stewardship framework helps to implement data stewardship services, and is detailed as part of the InfoSphere MDM architecture.
