Understanding the Master Index Standardization Engine

Business Connector Tokens Reference File

The connector tokens reference file (bizConnectorTokens.dat) defines common values (typically conjunctions) that connect words in business names. For example, in the business name “Nursery of Venice”, “of” is a connector token. This helps the standardization engine recognize and process the full name of a business by indicating that the token connects two parts of the full name.

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