The WA Data LinkageThe process of establishing whether two or more pieces of information belong to or describe the same person, family, event, place or time period. Network was formed to establish an environment for informal discussion around data linkage - such as new technologies and techniques surrounding the use of linked data, furthering the use of linked data in WA and generally facilitate improved communication among and between Researchers and the Data Linkage Branch.
An Organising Committee has been formed to plan meetings and workshops throughout the year, based on topics that are nominated by members of the Network.
The Network welcomes anyone who has an interest in data linkage in WA. If you would like to join the Network, or find out more, please contact Jessica Lee (jessica.lee@health.wa.gov.au).
