The Algorithm Definition controls the way that keys are designed and built for a given population of data. An Algorithm also controls the way in which names or addresses are manipulated during matching to improve the matching process.
The following types of name populations can be supported by the SSA-NAME3 Algorithms:
Person names
Company/Business names
Mixed Person/Company/Business names
Account Names, Trusts, Partnerships etc.
Names from mixed countries
Addresses
Other short descriptive text (e.g. song or book titles, industry classifications, job descriptions, product names, medical or chemical names, physical descriptions)
