SudoQual is a software suite that allows discovering and evaluating coreference links between individual entities references. It has been developed during the ANR project Qualinca. This software suite comprises:

• a generic API allowing to implement (thanks to a graphical interface) applications computing “same-as” and “different-from” links in knowledge bases;

• a generic application (whose specific parameters are defined in a configuration file) evaluating the quality of a knowledge base; it is available either as a standalone client or as a web service;

• a library dedicated to the comparison of individual entities' attributes;

• the specific configuration file dedicated to evaluating the quality of links in ABES' Sudoc catalogue.

Main developments this year are:

• adapting the API's architecture to the NetBeans IDE in order to benefit from its better edition functionalities;

• finalizing, testing and optimizing the linkage application;

• specifying and implementing the quality evaluation application;

• implementing this latter application as a web service.
