Identity Criterion for Business Operation type

Features for establishing identity relationships

  • name_match: There is a name_match if the business operation names or aliases match on both the sources. Sometimes the names may be abbreviated such as PWC vs PricewaterhouseCoopers. Business operation names may also vary by including or excluding things like "Inc." or "Incorporaterd" or "Gmbh". Their names can also be changed over time such as Andersen Consulting vs Accenture.

  • major_customer_match: There is a major_customer_match if at least one of the big customers of the business operation listed in Freebase property /business/business_operation/major_customer (Major customer) matches with the customers on the other source.

  • industry_match: There is an industry_match if the industry that the business operation operates in listed in Freebase property /business/business_operation/industry (Industry) matches with the industries on the other source.

  • competitive_space_match: There is a competitive_space_match if the business operation has brands and products in a competitive space listed in Freebase property /business/business_operation/competitive_space (Competitive space) and it matches with the competitive space on the other source.
