Abstract
Semantic object characterization and its use in indexing and searching a database directory is presented. In general, a first binary hash code is generated to represent a first representation or view of a semantic object which when compared to a characterized version of a second representation or view of the same semantic object in the form of a second binary hash code, the first and second binary hash codes exhibit a degree of similarity indicative of the objects being the same object. In one implementation the semantic objects correspond to peoples' names and the first and second representations or views correspond to two different languages. Thus, a user can search a database of information in one language with a search query in another language.
