OYSTER_Run_Configurations

OYSTER can be configured to perform three of the four basic ER architectures and four types of asserted linking (discussed earlier). For OYSTER to run, a user must specify what “mode” it should run in. The mode is defined by the value defined in the XML <RunMode> tag of the source descriptor. This section will discuss the basic constraints and configuration requirements of setting up an OYSTER run and demonstrate how to use OYSTER for each of the following:

• Merge-purge

  • RunMode = “MergePurge”

• Identity capture

  • RunMode = “IdentityCapture”

• Identity build from assertions

  • Reference to Reference

        RunMode = “AssertRefToRef”
    

  • Reference to Structure

       RunMode = “AssertRefToStr”
    

  • Structure To Structure

       RunMode = “AssertStrToStr”
    

  • Split Structure

       RunMode = “AssertSplitStr”
    

• Identity resolution

  • RunMode = “IdentityResolution”

• Identity Update

  • RunMode = “IdentityUpdate”
