Understanding the Master Index Standardization Engine

Master Index Standardization Engine Internationalization

By default, the Master Index Standardization Engine is configured for addresses and names originating from Australia, France, Great Britain, and the United States, and for telephone numbers and business names of any origin. Each national variant for each data type uses a specific subset of configuration files. In addition, you can define custom national variants for the standardization engine to support addresses and names from other countries and to support other data types. You can process with your data using the standardization files for a single variant or you can use multiple variants depending on how the master index application is configured.
