Mike,
our RecordManager (https://github.com/KDK-Alli/RecordManager) used in
conjunction with VuFind does deduplication with our own algorithm. This
might be of some interest to you. RecordManager works standalone, so no
VuFind installation needed. For some parts it's still in active
development, but the deduplication has been working pretty well so far.
A short description of the algorithm is available at
<https://github.com/KDK-Alli/RecordManager/wiki/Deduplication>, and the
actual PHP code is in
<https://github.com/KDK-Alli/RecordManager/blob/master/classes/RecordManager.php>
starting at the dedupRecord function.
