is used to index Person Names, Organization Names, Addresses, or combination of these, while the
Generic
match purpose can score records match.
The SSA-NAME3 algorithm that builds the keys and the search ranges for Generic Data is invoked by calling SSA-NAME3 and by passing
FIELD=Generic_Field
in the Controls parameter of
get_keys
.
The
Generic_Field
algorithm is designed to overcome some of the errors and variation that are common across entities such as Person Names, Organization Names, Addresses, and Addresses.
