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
Example 1 Input Output Token Output
Peter Kováč a Ivana Kováčová Name 1 Peter Kováč
Name 2 Ivana Kováčová
Example 2 Input Output Token Output
Peter a Ivana Kováčovci Name 1 Peter Kováčovci
Name 2 Ivana Kováčovci
Example 3 Input Output Token Output
Peter Tribula Name 1 Peter Tribula
Name 2  
Remarks Slovak family names use feminine, masculine, and plural variations. Because of this, strings containing multiple names should be standardized with the Name (Multiple Name) standardization definition before being processed with the Name (Multiple Name) parse definition. The results of the parse will otherwise show incorrect family name variations for individual names, as shown in Example 2. If only one name is present in the input, the first token is used.
