Abstract

MapReduce framework provides a new platform for data integration on distributed environment. We demonstrate a MapReduce-based entity resolution framework which efficiently solves the matching problem for structured, semi-structured and unstructured entities. We propose a random-based data representation method for reducing network transmission; we implement our design on MapReduce and design two solutions for reducing redundant comparisons. Our demo provides an easy-to-use platform for entity matching and performance analysis. We also compare the performance of our algorithm with the state-of-the-art blocking-based methods.
