Configuring Phonetic Encoding for Business Names

When you match or standardize on business name fields, the business name field should be specified for phonetic conversion (by default, the wizard defines this for you). Follow the instructions under Defining Phonetic Encoding for the Master Index in Configuring Sun Master Indexes to define fields for phonetic encoding.

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

<phoneticize-fields>
   <phoneticize-field>
      <unphoneticized-source-field-name>Company.Name_Name
      </unphoneticized-source-field-name>
      <phoneticized-target-field-name>Company.Name_NamePhon
      </phoneticized-target-field-name>
      <encoding-type>NYSIIS</encoding-type>
   </phoneticize-field>
</phoneticize-fields>
