Publication deduplicator

What does the publication deduplicator produce?

Identify repeated announcements and syndicated content in supplied publication records.

Use the exact local files and task-specific inputs listed below. Preparation and review stay in this browser. Inspect all findings before preparing the finalized pack.

What do you need before you start?

• Define the authorized source population and your review rules.
• Keep the unchanged original files and record the snapshot and exclusions.
• Review missing and invalid inputs before preparing the finalized pack.

What information do you enter?

Select the actual local sources and freeze the task-specific inputs below. Keep source files and complete findings private.

• Primary source. Exact headings publication_id, title, url, published_at, content_sha256, source_ref.
• Review reference. Customer-controlled review reference.
• Review owner. Responsible customer reviewer.
• Observation date. Real YYYY-MM-DD date. Effective date intervals include both endpoints.
• Selected source scope. Name actual populations, versions, period and known omissions.
• Population declaration. Choose the explicit working rule before preparing a result.
• Query parameters to remove. Optional exact query-parameter names, one per line. Other parameters and their order remain unchanged.

What you can download

Every result must identify its supplied facts, assumptions and unresolved items.

Fictional review report (PDF). Editable review (DOCX). Complete fictional pack (ZIP). Requires tailoring and responsible review. Samples use the finalized renderer.

How does the publication deduplicator work?

1. 1
   Select the actual sources

   Primary source. Exact headings publication_id, title, url, published_at, content_sha256, source_ref.

2. 2
   Freeze the review rules

   Compare exact publication IDs, canonical working URLs and supplied content_sha256 digests. Remove URL fragments and only explicitly selected query parameters. Same-content records at different URLs are syndicated candidates. Reused IDs or URLs with conflicting content remain visible. Preserve every announcement and source position in the clustered output. A separate working copy removes only complete identical source rows and retains every conflict. No web retrieval or similarity claim occurs.

3. 3
   Inspect complete findings

   Review all source-linked results and unresolved items. Free JSON and CSV preserve complete results.

4. 4
   Keep recoverable work

   Inputs and exact source bytes save locally and survive reload. Strict restores verify tool identity, input schema, original hashes and parsed bytes before atomic replacement. Earlier generic work, prior checkpoint files and purchases remain preserved separately.

5. 5
   Prepare the finalized pack

   Prepare seven core files and the exact selected attachments, then download them free. Review the fictional sample below.

Method and sources

Apply the steps above to the supported inputs. Use the listed source sections to review the rule basis, assumptions and limits.

• Common Format and MIME Type for Comma-Separated Values FilesCSV mechanics only. This source supplies no customer schema, legal requirement, matching identity, population completeness, threshold or reconciliation rule. Section 2 describes CSV records, field counts, double-quote escaping and embedded commas or line endings.RFC Editor. Reviewed 2026-10-09.
• Date and Time on the Internet TimestampsSupports supported timestamp syntax and explicit-offset conversion only. This implementation rejects leap seconds and more than three fractional digits rather than claiming full RFC coverage. No daylight saving, legal calendar or event authenticity is inferred. Sections 4.2, 4.3 and 5.6 describe stated UTC offsets, unknown offset -00:00 and date-time syntax.RFC Editor. Reviewed 2026-10-09.

Common questions

What still needs review?

Mechanical working results use exact supplied source populations and your rules. Originals remain unchanged in this browser. No identity, legal obligation, source completeness, currency conversion, suppression consent, refund, cancellation, shipment or external operation is authenticated or performed.

At most 5000 rows, 50 fields, 100000 cells and 5000000 parsed characters per source, 10 MB per file. Exact decimal arithmetic supports 12 whole digits and 6 fractional places.

Complete reviews are bounded to 20000 findings and 15000000 result characters. Split larger populations into explicit source batches.

Formal reports show at most 100 findings and 400 characters per displayed field. Complete sources, findings and working output values remain in Excel and JSON.
