Entity Name Meta (dnClusterLongName)

This cluster uses the standardized entity name to generate cluster keys.

The default logic is as follows:

  1. Remove initials.
  2. Remove common name tokens, such as Limited, or Corporation.
  3. Normalize whitespace.
  4. Remove common business words, such as Company, or Association.
  5. Transliterate any non-Latin characters into Latin.
  6. Apply the Metaphone transformation (the standard double-Metaphone algorithm) outputting a key with a length of up to eight characters.
The following table provides some examples.
