Title: Heuristic Index-Based Record Linkage
Version: 1.0.1.9000
Authors@R: person("Eduard", "Brüll", email = "eduard.bruell@zew.de", role = c("aut", "cre"))
Description: Links records that refer to the same entity across sources
        that share no common key, such as people, firms, or addresses
        with spelling variation, abbreviations, or reordered words.
        Linkage is described declaratively as a strategy that
        normalises, tokenises, phonetically encodes, weights, and
        blocks each field; candidate pairs are then scored by the
        rarity-weighted overlap of their tokens and every score is
        attributed back to individual tokens for explainability.
        Strategies compose into staged pipelines of exact, fuzzy, and
        optional embedding-based matching that carry unmatched records
        forward and resolve entities as connected components. The same
        strategy runs on an in-memory 'data.table' backend or an
        out-of-core 'DuckDB' backend, and diagnostic and calibration
        tools help tune a strategy and filter false positives. The
        token-retrieval heuristic follows Doherr (2023)
        <doi:10.2139/ssrn.4326848>.
