This document outlines the concept of a KORD linker, a KORD service which creates links between KORD objects based on some pre-defined rules.
The KORD protocol is at an early stage of development, expect this document to change frequently during this early phase.
A major issue with distributed databases of objects coming from many different sources is identifying objects which describe the same thing but in subtly different ways.
For example, consider a person named "Alexander Smith" whom is commonly known as "Alex Smith", and objects using either one of those first names. Because these objects are not identical, they will have different identifiers and so without further action, there will be two disjoint graphs of objects related to this person.
In this case, a KORD linker will be employed with a rule that is "link all objects which reference this person as either Alex or Alexander".
