New Factual Resolve API Will Help Clean Up, Complete Location Databases
Open data platform Factual.com is launching a new API for developers of location-based services called Resolve. The API is an entity resolution API that makes partial records complete, matches entities against one other and assists in the process of de-duping and normalizing datasets.What this means is that developers can simply tell Factual what they know about an entity (i.e., a venue in a place database) and it will fill in the missing pieces (e.g., the category, the latitude/longitude info and venue's address). At launch, Resolve will be available only for Factual's list of U.S. Places, but the company hopes to expand Resolve globally in the future.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/5-IjhKGmipQ/
