while the documentation links are the definitive source I like to think of them as follows:
matchFieldURIs - If I have multiple nested/reference attributes what is considered a duplicate so it should not be displayed twice? Suppose we have phone number +440118845687 and we see it twice in the data. Once its listed as a business phone, once its listed as a mobile. Do you want to consider this to be the same number and collapse the value to just one phone? Or do you want it to display twice, once each for the phone type? Both are valid, depending on your governance rules. This setting allows you to configure it the way you need.
keyAttributeURIs - Suppose an entity has several values of a nested attribute. How do I update one of those values via API? In order to do this, I need to identify which one I want to update. What attributes do I use to identify which instance of the nest to update? Those are the keyAttributeURIs. In the bad old days, we would have called this an integration key.
