Name (Multiple Name)

Parse Definition

Name (Multiple Name)
Description The Name (Multiple Name) parse definition parses strings that contain the names of two individuals into a set of tokens.
Output Tokens Name 1
Name 2
  Input Output Token Output
Example 1 Łukasz Leszewski i Magdalena Pawłowska Name 1 Łukasz Leszewski
Name 2 Magdalena Pawłowska
Example 2 Katarzyna Potocka Name 1 Katarzyna Potocka
Name 2  
Example 3* Łukasz Leszewski i Magdalena Leszewska Name 1 Łukasz Leszewski
Name 2 Magdalena Leszewska
Remarks If only one name is present in the input, the first token is used.

Because Polish family names use feminine, masculine, and plural variations, strings containing multiple names should be standardized with the Name (Multiple Name) standardization definition before being processed with the Name (Multiple Name) parse definition. Otherwise, the results of the parse may show incorrect family name variations for individual names.

* In Example 3, the input is the output of Example 5 of the Name (Multiple Name) standardization definition. The original input was Łukasz i Magdalena Leszewscy.
