Some of you have probably already come across the terms PPRL and fTTP in the past. For many, it was probably easy to roughly classify them into a topic. But when it comes to the background, challenges, and advantages, some scientists and project managers lack an overview of the rather complex details and contexts. We therefore turned to an established partner for “explanatory videos.”
With the experienced team at SimpleShow and the distinctive voice of Ingo Albrecht, a short film (also available with subtitles) was created that presents and visualizes the basic idea and added value of federated record linkage using the example of fTTP in an easy-to-understand way. This is further supported by the new brochure on fTTP, which summarizes the essential information in a concise manner.
If your thirst for knowledge is still not quenched, we recommend the publication linked below.
