Consider integration with other open source platforms

[GoogleCodeExporter]

There are others open source tools to do record linkage/deduplication, eg.:

 * FRIL: http://fril.sourceforge.net/ it has a really nice GUI and implements a good set of standard record linkage methods. It allows also for manual review of possible matches.
 * FEBRL: http://datamining.anu.edu.au/software/febrl/febrl-04.html a bit outdated and written in python, but it implements several useful algorithms not found in other projects so it should be considered at least for reference.
 * WEKA: http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/ml/weka/ not directly related to record linkage/deduplication, but implements several classification and clustering methods often used in record linkage problems

I think these projects links are useful at least for reference.

I'm not necessarily averse to integrating with these tools, but I'm not sure 
what, exactly, to integrate with. Do you have any specific proposals?

Please make a specific proposal, or I'm afraid I'll have to close this issue as 
inconclusive.

That was mainly for reference purposes, didn't find a best place for this.
You can safely close the issue.
