Linking across datasets

In many cases like reference data mastering, enrichment etc, 2 individual datasets are duplicate free but they need to be matched against each other. The link phase is used for such scenarios.

./zingg.sh --phase link --conf config.json

Sample configuration file configLink.json is defined at examples/febrl. In this option, each record from the first source is matched with all the records from remaining sources.

A sample output is given in the image below. The linked records are given same z_cluster id. Last column (z_source) in the output tells the source dataset of that record.
