Data Client

The Data Client is a headless agent deployed alongside remote data sets, enabling secure, bidirectional data flow with the LinXmart Record Linkage System. It automates the retrieval, transformation, and privacy-preserving encoding of source data, all managed through the LinXmart UI. Linkage keys are returned to the remote site after linkage.

Overview

The Data Client incorporates Envelope Builder functionality to ensure consistent Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) processing of source data. Unlike manual ETL processes, the Data Client is fully automated and seamlessly integrated with LinXmart. It handles data retrieval, transformation, and any required privacy-preserving encoding automatically.

All communication with LinXmart is secured using mutual authentication over encrypted HTTPS connections. This ensures data security and supports a wide range of networking environments, including load balancers and gateways between the Data Client and the LinXmart server.
