Summary

Background

The Charlotte Regional Data Trust (formerly Institute for Social Capital) (CRDT) is an integrated data system housed in the Urban Institute that enables acces, use and governance of administrative microdata for research that addresses community issues and solutions.

The Data Trust embarked on a significant data infrastructure upgrade after recognizing the need to scale and transform the unit’s ability to serve a greater, more diverse pool of research problems and organizations. More significantly, the existing data management and analytics practice required significant revamp to efficiently fulfill data requests and conduct research projects.

Summary

Background

This is part of the CRDT Data Infrastructure project

Objective(s) and Scope

This project aims to develop improved data integration mechanisms for CRDT’s data assets, ensuring accurate and consistent data integration. This involves the development of an entity resolution framework and the implementation of probabilistic record linkage techniques to enhance the CRDT’s data integration processes.

The project will start with a comprehensive review of CRDT’s current data integration mechanisms and identification of areas for improvement. Based on this review, an entity resolution framework will be developed to ensure accurate identification of entities across different data sources. Probabilistic record linkage techniques will be implemented to link records from different data sources and provide a unified view of the data.
