Configuring Phonetic Encoding for Address Data

When you match or standardize on street address fields, the street name should be specified for phonetic conversion (this is done by default in a master index application). Follow the instructions under Defining Phonetic Encoding for the Master Index in Sun Master Index Configuration Guide to define fields for phonetic encoding.

A sample of the phoneticize-fields element is shown below. This sample only converts the address street name. You can define additional fields for phonetic encoding.

<phoneticize-fields>
   <phoneticize-field>
      <unphoneticized-source-field-name>Person.Address[*].StreetName
      </unphoneticized-source-field-name>
      <phoneticized-target-field-name>Person.Address[*].StreetName_Phon
      </phoneticized-target-field-name>
      <encoding-type>NYSIIS</encoding-type>
   </phoneticize-field>
</phoneticize-fields>
