What_Is_So_Great_About_OYSTER

With the above scenario it may be hard to see what is good about using OYSTER. It may seem like creating the XML files is more work than it is worth to consolidate the nine records. Imagine, however, that these nine test records are an excerpt from a table containing thousands of records. Imagine again trying to process all these records by hand. This would be nearly impossible to accomplish without some degree of error and would take a ridicules amount of time. This is where OYSTER comes in. Through using the same XML scripts that we created for the nine records, OYSTER can perform the same Entity Resolution on the thousands of records by simply replacing the source file(s) with a file containing all of the records.
