zentity

Zenful entity resolution

zentity is an Elasticsearch plugin for real-time entity resolution. It aims to be:

• Simple - Entity resolution is hard. zentity makes it easy.
• Fast - Get results at interactive speeds. From milliseconds to low seconds.
• Generic - Resolve anything. People, companies, locations, sessions, and more.
• Transitive - Resolve over multiple hops. Recursion finds dynamic identities.
• Multi-source - Resolve over multiple indices with disparate mappings.
• Accommodating - Operate on data as it exists. No changing or reindexing data.
• Logical - Logic is easier to read, troubleshoot, and optimize than statistics.
• 100% Elasticsearch - Elasticsearch is a great foundation for entity resolution.
