Resource Record-Matcher

The Record-Matcher is an AI-powered, human-assured tool for comparing overlapping resource directory datasets.

Active
Since 2026

We decided to build our own record-matching tool, and we’re excited to share it as an open-source technology that can benefit the entire field. The Record-Matcher is an AI-powered, human-assured tool for comparing overlapping resource directory datasets. The tool works specifically with data in Open Referral’s HSDS format. Standards are necessary to enable this kind of apples-to-apples comparison, because they enable data from different sources to be translated into a common language. Once multiple datasets are loaded, Record Matcher identifies potential matches, and assigns each a confidence rating to indicate the likelihood that they refer to the same thing.
