Merge (Date)

Default

Similar to block Merge, but also transports the date in the second column of B to both outputs (A1 and A2). Finds all items in A for which the second column matches an object from B. Usually used to merge back objects which have previously been split.

Input

  • A [OBJ,OBJ]: a list of pairs to be searched
  • B [OBJ,DATE]: a list of pairs to be merged with A

Output

  • A1B2 [OBJ,DATE]: from the first column of A only those items of which the second column matched with B, and the matching date from the second column of B
  • A2B2 [OBJ,DATE]: items from the second column of A that matched with B and the matching date from the second column of B

Output scores can be aggregated and/or normalized.
