burgerLinker v0.7

This version fixes a problem caused by external libraries when running burgerLinker in terminal

burgerLinker v0.6

This version fixes a bug in the closure function and updates the HDT library to the latest version (v 3.0.2)

burgerLinker v0.5

This version supports one-to-one matching, using the --singleInd flag.

Example: for matching newborns to deceased individuals (with a maximum Levenshtein distance of 2) without the requirement of matching their parents as well, you can use the following command:

java -jar burgerLinker.jar --function Within_B_D --inputData dataDirectory/myCivilRegistries.hdt --outputDir . --maxLev 2 --singleInd

burgerLinker v0.4

Closure function covers all types of links

burgerLinker v0.3

Bug fixes, and added the following tool parameters:

--ignoreDate (optional, default = False) add this flag without a value (i.e. True) for ignoring the date consistency check before saving a link. By default, the tool only saves links that are temporally consistent (e.g. when linking newborns to deceased individuals, the tool checks whether the date of death is later than the individual's date of birth)

--ignoreBlock:(optional, default = False) add this flag without a value (i.e. True) for not requiring the equality of the last names' first letter of the matched individuals. By default, the tool only saves links between individuals that at least have the same first letter of their last names
