Hi all, is there a way of using a second project as a reconciliation source, similar to `cross` but with clustering? My data has singular terms that should be matched against their plural versions, hyphens vs whitespaces, etc, and I have a target vocabulary table that is not available as a service.

Thanks!

@martimpassos We do not, and this is in the top of our our requested feature on our [goalspost page](https://openrefine.org/docs/technical-reference/goal-posts#native-reconciliation-with-arbitrary-external-datasets).

Today, the simplest solution would be to export your dataset to csv and use one of the local services [Reconcilable Data Sources · OpenRefine/OpenRefine Wiki · GitHub](https://github.com/OpenRefine/OpenRefine/wiki/Reconcilable-Data-Sources#local-services)

Thanks, I'll do that!
