Abstract

This paper describes and demonstrates a names entity similarity metric developed for, and currentlyin use by, the FuzzyPhoto project. The presented metric is effective at comparing named entity datain and across syntax less data schemas such as are often encounter in GLAM collections. Theefficiency of the approach was compared to an existing named entity similarity metric and is shownto be a significant improvement when comparing messy named entity data.
