Entity reference storage data types and APIs

Reference Store

The entity reference store's main job is to keep entity references known by the system. Depending on the entity resolution model being used, it may persist relations between entity references.

The entity reference store logically organizes the data it stores in workspaces. Each workspace corresponds to an entity resolution problem domain. For example, users might have one workspace for resolving publications across multiple data sources and another workspace for resolving e-commerce products across vendor databases.

Development

$ make bootstrap
$ make test

Then follow the coding guidelines to submit new contributions.

Usage

This package is meant to be used as a subsystem in a larger entity resolution pipeline. The functionalities should be imported and used as per the pipeline's requirements.
