Overview of IBM Entity Analytic Solutions Name Manager

IBM(R) Entity Analytics Solutions Name Manager provides additional name recognition support for over one billion multicultural names. It also enhances name precision by addressing advanced name confirmation issues.

IBM Entity Analytics Solutions Name Manager integrates a subset of IBM Global Name Recognition technology to provide support for multicultural names. It quickly and easily integrates with IBM Relationship Resolution, allowing you to turn Name Manager on or off.

IBM Entity Analytics Solutions Name Manager increases name precision for advanced name confirmation issues, such as multiple name transliterations, misspellings within cultures, spelling variations within cultures and from culture-to-culture, and names that use patronymic or honorific designations. IBM Global Name Recognition NameClassifier Country of Association (NC_COA) is leveraged to classify Afgani, Anglo, Arabic, Chinese, European, Farsi, French, German, Han, Hispanic, Indian, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Pakistani, Russian, Southwest Asian, Thai, Vietnamese, and Yourban cultures.

IBM Entity Analytic Solutions Name Manager uses IBM Global Name Recognition NameHunter 3.1 to provide name regularization for Anglo, Arabic, German, Indian, Russian, and Thai cultured names. Name regularization finds the normalized version of a name and uses it for scoring.

You use the configuration console to set IBM Entity Analytics Solutions Name Manager parameters.
