With your support, the Entity Reconciliation Community Group has been launched:

by Antonin Delpeuch. The following people supported its
creation:

Please note that supporting a group is different from joining
a group. Supporters must also enroll if they wish to participate.
--------------------
Matching entities across data sources using different identifiers and
formats is a pervasive issue on the web.
This group revolves around developing a web API that data providers can
expose, which eases the reconciliation of third-party data to their own
identifiers. OpenRefine's reconciliation API is used as a starting
point. Our goals are to document this existing API, share our
experiences and lessons learnt from it, propose an improved protocol in
the view of promoting it as a standard, and build tooling around it.
A description of the existing protocol can be found here:
