其他摘要：The Centre for Data Linkage (CDL) was established at Curtin University, Western Australia, to develop infrastructure to enable cross-jurisdictional record linkage in Australia. The CDL’s operating model makes use of the ‘separation principle’, with content data typically provided to researchers directly by the data custodian; jurisdictional linkage where available are used within the linkage process. Along with conducting record linkage, the team has also invested in establishing a research programme in record linkage methodology and in developing modern record linkage software which can handle the size and complexity of today’s workloads. The Centre has been instrumental in the development of practical methods for privacy-preserving record linkage, with this methodology now regularly used for real-world linkages. While the promise of a nation-wide linkage system in Australia has yet to be met, distributed models provide a potential solution.
