We do not yet explain the relationship of LinkTools to other tools for record linkage sufficiently: Doing so would make the relevance of our contribution clearer.
At this stage, we have a focus to support workflows to realize deterministic data linkage, because the data we predominantly work with and that we publish is not very well suitable for the probabilistic approach: Wikidata IDs falsely assigned to political actors would undermine the trust the data receives.
Yet when and how can we use (existing) tools for probabilistic record linkage?

An important reference is the RecordLinkage package: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/RecordLinkage/index.html What else should we refer to? What relevant R (Python, ...) packages should be mentioned?
