Abstract
Embodiments of systems and methods for comparing attributes of a data record are presented herein. Embodiments of the present invention generate a weight based on a comparison of attributes of data records. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention may compare each of the tokens of one name to each of the tokens of the other name. Each of these comparisons may generate a match score. These match scores can then be summed to generate the weight for the two names. Specific embodiments may adjust the weight based on various criteria such as the position of the tokens which match or subtracting a mismatch penalty.
