This paper is an attempt to explore the importance of user's profile attributes that can make a significant impact on identity resolution techniques across multiple online social networks. In this study, we proposed a method that is helpful to find out the most significant profile attributes in identity matching schemes. For example, a unique identity number (like a mobile number) can be significant attributes in identity matching, but most of the user's profiles don't disclose this kind of information because of privacy issues. So there is an opportunity for other profile attributes to be significant because of easily accessible on social networks from identity matching point of view. This method will be helpful in increasing the accuracy of the identity matching frameworks.
