Parse Definition

Name (Global)
Description	The Name (Global) parse definition parses names of individuals into a globally recognized set of tokens.
Output Tokens	Prefix Given Name Middle Name Family Name Suffix Title/Additional Info
Example 1	Input	Output Token	Output
	dr. Kiss Józsefné	Prefix	dr.
		Given Name	Józsefné
		Middle Name
		Family Name	Kiss
		Suffix
		Title/Additional Info
Example 2	Input	Output Token	Output
	ifj. Kiss Lászlóné dr. Sipos Gabriella	Prefix	dr.
		Given Name	Gabriella
		Middle Name
		Family Name	Sipos
		Suffix
		Title/Additional Info	ifj. Kiss Lászlóné
Example 3	Input	Output Token	Output
	Dézsi István Zoltán (ifj.)	Prefix
		Given Name	István Zoltán
		Middle Name
		Family Name	Dézsi
		Suffix	ifj.
		Title/Additional Info
Remarks	When a woman's name is represented as her husband's name extended with the suffix -né, then the husband's family name and given name are parsed into the Family Name and Given Name tokens (see example 1). If a woman's name contains her maiden family name, then the woman's maiden name and given name are parsed into Family Name and Given Name, and the husband's name is parsed into the Title/Additional Info token (Example 2). If a woman's name appears with the woman's maiden name and the husband's name, and the husband's name has a title or generational indicator, the husband's title or generational indicator is parsed into the Title/Additional Info token along with the rest of the husband's name (example 2). If the title appears between the husband's name and a woman's maiden name, the title is considered to apply to the woman, and is therefore parsed into the Prefix token (example 2). Generational indicator words appearing with a man's name are always parsed into the Suffix token (example 3). The Middle Name token is not used.
Remarks	Parse definitions named with the Global keyword use a set of output tokens that is consistent across every locale. Results obtained from these definitions can be stored in the same database fields as the results obtained from definitions of the same name in other locales.
