📝 Abstract
Name matching between multiple natural languages is an important step in cross-enterprise integration applications and data mining. It is difficult to decide whether or not two syntactic values (names) from two heterogeneous data sources are alternative designation of the same semantic entity (person), this process becomes more difficult with Arabic language due to several factors including spelling and pronunciation variation, dialects and special vowel and consonant distinction and other linguistic characteristics. This paper proposes a new framework for name matching between the Arabic language and other languages. The framework uses a dictionary based on a new proposed version of the Soundex algorithm to encapsulate the recognition of special features of Arabic names. The framework proposes a new proximity matching algorithm to suit the high importance of order sensitivity in Arabic name matching. New performance evaluation metrics are proposed as well. The framework is implemented and verified empirically in several case studies demonstrating substantial improvements compared to other well-known techniques found in literature.💡 Deep Analysis
