Understanding the Master Index Standardization Engine

Business General Terms Reference File

The general terms reference file (bizBusinessGeneralTerms.dat) lists terms commonly used in business names. This file is used to identify terms that indicate a business, such as bank, supply, factory, and so on, so the Master Index Standardization Engine can recognize and process the business name.

This file contains one column that lists common terms in the business names you process. You can add entries as needed. Below is an excerpt from the general terms reference file.
