Table 2: Data Linkage Branch design pillars for its new data linkage system (DLS3).

New Data Linkage System (DLS3) Design Pillar
Concurrency	Run all linkage strategies for a dataset concurrently
De-duplication	Remove double-handling of potential matches in the clerical review process
Streamlining	Improve the end-to-end linkage process by integrating the standardisation, matching and links management stages and removing repeated or unnecessary manual steps
Immediacy	New links would be created immediately upon being identified, rather than waiting to load a whole file of links as a batch job.
