Aware, Inc., a leading global provider of biometrics software and services, today introduced a new software development kit product called INQUIRE™, an acronym for "INformation QUality and Identity Resolution Engine." INQUIRE uses advanced text-based filter, search, match, and link algorithms to provide a variety of useful identity data processing and analysis functions that are complementary to biometric search and match operations. Capabilities enabled by INQUIRE include data integration, data quality analysis, identity resolution, fuzzy text search and match with similarity scoring, name and address matching, link analysis, and biometric pre- and post-search filtering. INQUIRE is not a platform, but rather a lightweight SDK that can be incorporated by developers into the workflows of their client- and server-based applications. Alternatively, INQUIRE may be deployed as a software module with Aware's Biometric Services Platform (BioSP™).
"Aware's introduction of INQUIRE reflects the usefulness of text-based identity data in biometric systems," commented David Benini, VP of Marketing at Aware. "The ability to interpret textual identity data adds a dimension of analysis that is powerful not only for discovery of insightful identity information, but also towards characterizing identity data and optimizing its effectiveness. By bundling these algorithms in an SDK form factor, INQUIRE gives developers the flexibility to apply them in a highly customizable fashion towards enhancing and optimizing end-user solutions."
