Senzing EDA Tools - Truth-Set Demo

This step-by-step guide will help you load and run the Senzing truth-set demo to explore entity resolution capabilities on a Linux server. By following these steps, you’ll have the truth set demo loaded and ready for exploration, with watchlist data helping you assess risks and reference data providing richer context about your entities.

Step 1: Install Senzing and load the truth-set data

Choose an installation method:

Linux

• Senzing v4 Linux Quickstart Guide

Docker

• Senzing v4 Docker Quickstart Guide

Step 2: Take a snapshot of the truth-set data

Download the files

The Senzing truth-set demo snapshot and audit key files are stored on GitHub: Senzing Truth Sets

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Senzing/truth-sets/main/truthsets/demo/other_key.csv

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Senzing/truth-sets/main/truthsets/demo/truthset_key.csv

Take a snapshot

Exports matches and generates reports.

sz_snapshot -QAo truthset_snapshot

Perform an audit

Compares snapshot results against expected outcomes in truthset_key.csv.

sz_audit -n truthset_snapshot.csv -p truthset_key.csv -o truthset_audit

Step 3: Explore the Results

1. Use the sz_explorer interface to:
   • Review matching statistics, including risk indicators from watchlist matches.
   • Examine examples of resolved entities, enriched with reference data insights.
   • Query how entities matched (e.g., due to watchlist overlaps) or why they did not.
