Advan Patterns Plus Crosswalk Now Live

A new Patterns Plus Crosswalk is now available on Dewey. The crosswalk file provides a join key between Patterns Plus POIs and identifiers used in adjacent datasets, addressing a long-standing gap for researchers who have transitioned from the legacy Patterns product (which used Placekey) to Patterns Plus (which uses Advan's internal id_store / persistent_id_store identifiers, with no Placekey field).

Suggested action:

If you are looking to link other POI datasets that utilize Placekey or understand relationships between legacy Advan products access the latest crosswalk on Dewey.
