ODGA Universal Entity Index

ODGA has designed and implemented the creation of a universal entity index (UEI), a crosswalk table that is used as de-identified repository of Virginians. This crosswalk table is leveraged to provide intelligence and analytics from multiple systems to assist agencies with their data needs. More specifically, the UEI provides the ability for agencies to merge their datasets with other contributed datasets while the data is deidentified.

As ODGA continues to ingest datasets from other agencies the UEI will grow into a more comprehensive solution.
