You can set the name score thresholds that Name Manager
uses during entity resolution by resolution rule. After the candidate
list is built, entity resolution compares the Name Manager name score,
based on name part and the culture determined for each name part,
to these thresholds. If the Name Manager score meets or exceeds the
configured threshold score for the name part, the names are considered
a match.
About this task
Important: By default, the Name Manager name
part scoring thresholds are configured for optimum Name Manager scoring
and performance. Changing the default values is an advanced configuration
task, because these values can negatively affect entity resolution
for rules that include name scoring. Before changing these default
values, consult IBM Services or Support.
Procedure
- In the Configuration Console, select
- Select the resolution configuration from the Resolution
Config list.
- Select the resolution rule.
- Click Confirm/Deny Thresholds.
- Under Name Manager, enter the minimum
score for each name part threshold, based on a score from 0.0 to 1.0.
The higher the score, the more exact the name parts must be to match.
Typically, a score below 0.7 is not considered suitable to match name
parts.
