Properties
source_id
The source entity's unique identifier value, often a person_id, household_id, or other value that uniquely identifies a row in the source dataset.
target_id
The identifier or identifiers to be used for matching in resolution. Also referred to as a blocking key. Can be a scalar or a composite with | separator.
target_id_type
The type label of the matching identifier or blocking key (e.g. normalized_email, libpostal_normalized_address_array|soundex_first_name).
attributes
A stringified JSON blob representing attributes to surface in the edge table. Can include addressable identifiers for activation platforms as well as targeting properties such as demographic or behavioral features.
is_directed
Whether the edge is directional. When true, the edge represents an asymmetric relationship from source to target (e.g. A referred B). When false, the edge is symmetric and implies a mutual relationship (e.g. A and B are the same entity).
