|
Matching
|
Merops
nominus matches names components based on the context of the
document, using roles (Dr, Professor, etc.), surname prefixes (see below),
qualifications, affiliation links, and placement relative to document
titles and author address details.
|
|
Qualifications
|
The
Merops nominus fuzzy-matching algorithm for
qualifications ensures it has extensive subject coverage. A database table
is also available for users or central database administrators to
supplement the core application.
|
|
Collectives
|
Merops
nominus identifies and standardizes titles of collaborative
groups (e.g. The Working Party on XML), and deals with author variability
in phrases like ‘et al.’ or ‘and colleagues’.
|
|
International
context
|
Merops
nominus hosts data tables with comprehensive listings of
family name prefixes, including French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and
Portuguese.
Merops
nominus, used in conjunction with Merops locatio, can identify Asian names, and flag the
potential ambiguity about which name component has been used as a family
name, and which as a given name.
These
functions are particularly useful for creating indexes, or establishing
connections with external databases, which may have hosted either name in
their metadata.
|
|
Punctuation
|
Merops
nominus removes the drudgery of enforcing consistent use of
punctuation between initials, author names, qualifications, etc.
