Later this month, OCLC will install changes to WorldCat matching, including the following improvements to our to Duplicate Detection and Resolution (DDR) software:


  *   Improved DDR Comparison of Medium of Performance Differences for Musical Scores.
  *   Improved DDR Matching of Extent in Field 300.
  *   Improved DDR Matching of Online Serials.
  *   Improved DDR Matching of Roman and Arabic Numerals in Titles.
These improvements have been prompted primarily by feedback from members of the OCLC cooperative and accomplished by the discussion, investigation, and testing work of the matching team at OCLC.



See the WorldCat Matching Release Notes for January 2020<https://help.oclc.org/Metadata_Services/WorldShare_Record_Manager/WorldCat_Matching_release_notes_and_known_issues/2020_Release_notes/100WorldCat_Matching_release_notes_January_2020> for more details.
