Can Zingg do anything with Latitude and Longitude?

can you explain the business problem a bit more ?

In the entity resolution library dedupe it can accept a latitude and longitude and uses the proximity distance as part of it's matching. I was curious if Zingg also utilized geo data in matching in some way.

no it is not a supported type yet but we would welcome any contribution to the open source in this regard

Thanks, I should be fine without it, I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss it in the documentation somewhere.

Chris T. if you use lat long as doubles and mark them fuzzy in Zingg, it should be close.

When doubles are marked as fuzzy, we match them approximately. It wont be completely like a radial distance, but it tends to be quite ok.

Would love to see what you get!

I marked all my pairs without lat/lon for now and I believe everything is going well, when I retrain on lat/lon in the future I will let you know.

Perfect, thanks so much.
