- Abstract
- Duplicate records is a familiar problem in bibliographic databases. The problem is obvious when a union catalogue is established by automatically merging two or more separate and independent source of catalogue information. However, even in systems with on-line cataloguing and access to previous records, duplication is a problem. Author / title search search prior to cataloguing does not cut duplication to zero. A great deal of effort has been put into developing methods of duplicate detection. A major problem in this work has been efficiency. Particularly in the on-line setting is this of importance. Most studies have dealt with book and article material. The Research Libraries Group Inc. has described matching algorithms also for films, maps, recordings, scores and serials. Various methods of detecting duplicates will be discussed.
