Hi Nick > This made me realize that I should clarify my use of the term "record > linkage". ... > The > person 'Nick Matsakis' is not the same as a document he authored. I'm not saying they are, I'm saying that in our conceptual model we have first class objects that do not represent people, and where appropriate if those objects are about the same "thing" then we potentially want to link them. But yes, you could call this "record merging". Can you explain the difference between "record linking" and "record merging"? Dr Mark H.
