Generic explainable rules for quality assessment of civil registries co-referents

Description

Civil Registries record events (birth, marriage, etc.), individuals/resources who participated in them, as well as the roles these resources respectively assumed (newborn, bride, etc.). Combined, these certificates can be used to reconstitute families, and give glimpses into the life courses of historical individuals. The quality of a reconstituted person depends on the underlying matching tool. Currently, data quality checks are done manually. However, as such integration is expected to yield too many reconstitutions for manual inspections, we propose a set of generic explainable rules implemented over the network of the extended family of a reconstituted resource to assess its quality. To flag potential problems in reconstitutions, data are integrated such that identifiers of a person occurring multiple times within a dataset or across datasets are merged as co-referents.
