Batch, or “offline”, blocking takes a set of records and generates sets (or blocks, hence the name blocking) of potentially matching records for the entire set. The blocks of potential matches are then passed to a matching process to evaluate which records match. Applications include but are not limited to individual matching such as student identification, householding, business matching, supply chain matching, financial matching, news or text matching, and other applications.
