[Metafacture] SUM algorithm & grouping questions

[Nico Siebert]

Hello everyone!

I have some questions about the metafacture framework.

Are there any more information regarding the SUM algorithm apart from 
the flowchart?
I understand that for each record 3 matchkeys are created and those will 
be compared to the corresponding matchkeys of another record.

Now I wonder:

1. Is *every* key of a record compared to the corresponding key of a 
second record? If so, will any match result in a group or must at least 
2 MatchKeys be equal? What is the logic behind this?

Example:
AMatchKey1        compareTo    BMatchKey1    RESULT=false
AMatchKey2        compareTo    BMatchKey2    RESULT=false
AMatchKey3        compareTo    BMatchKey3    RESULT=true

--> Results in grouping of Record A and B ?

2. Is there any weighting implemented or are the matchkeys simply 
compared like mk1.match(mk2)?

Thank you and kind regards
Nico Siebert
