Identity Match Algorithms

The Match transformation includes predefined identity algorithms that compare the data values in the identity index. Select the algorithm that best represents the type of identity data in the data set.

The following table describes the algorithms and identifies the inputs that you select for each one:

Identity Algorithm	Description
Address	Identifies records that share an address. The algorithm requires the following primary input: Address The algorithm does not require a secondary input.
Contact	Identifies records that share a contact at a single organization location. The algorithm requires the following primary inputs: Person_Name Organization_Name Address_Part1 The algorithm does not require a secondary input.
Corp Entity	Identifies records that share corporate identification data. Optionally, select this algorithm to analyze address and telephone data. The algorithm requires the following primary input: Organization_Name The algorithm does not require a secondary input.
Division	Identifies records that share an office location within an organization. The algorithm requires the following primary inputs: Organization_Name Address_Part1 The algorithm does not require a secondary input.
Family	Identifies individuals that belong to a family. Analyzes name, address, and telephone number data. The algorithm requires the following primary input: Person_Name The algorithm requires one of the following secondary inputs: Address_Part1 Telephone_Number
Fields	Identifies records that share data on ports that you select. The algorithm does not specify any required input. Select the port or ports that might contain duplicate identity data.
Household	Identifies individuals that belong to a household. Analyzes name data and address data. The algorithm requires the following primary inputs: Person_Name Address_Part1
Individual	Identifies duplicate individuals. Analyzes name, date of birth, and personal identification data such as Social Security numbers, account numbers, and vehicle identification numbers. The algorithm requires the following primary input: Person_Name The algorithm requires one of the following secondary inputs: Date ID
Organization	Identifies records that share organization data. The algorithm requires the following primary input: Organization_Name The algorithm does not require a secondary input.
Person Name	Identifies records that share information about individuals. The algorithm requires the following primary input: Person_Name The algorithm does not require a secondary input.
Resident	Identifies duplicate individuals at an address. Optionally, configure this strategy to analyze personal identification data. The algorithm requires the following primary input: Person_Name Address_Part1 The algorithm does not require a secondary input.
Wide Contact	Identifies records that share a contact at an organization. The algorithm requires the following primary inputs: Person_Name Organization_Name The algorithm does not require a secondary input.
Wide Household	Identifies individuals that belong the same household. The algorithm requires the following primary input: Address_Part1 The algorithm does not require a secondary input.
