MDM multilingual matching
FY 2025-26 · 2025-07-14
Summary
Master Data Management (MDM) helps organizations solve the record matching (or, data duplication) problem. MDM requires a combination of automatic and manual linking based on the match results generated. Current tested algorithms such as Soundex or Jaro-Winkler have been applied in English only. The firm seeks to expand its matching rules to enable multilingual matching which will greatly increase the market for its Health Data Platform. It will first enable MSA (Modern Standard Arabic) matching before proceeding to create the required manual linking UI to support multilingual match remediation, specifically for French and German.

Description
Master Data Management (MDM) helps organizations solve the record matching (or, data duplication) problem. MDM requires a combination of automatic and manual linking based on the match results generated. Current tested algorithms such as Soundex or Jaro-Winkler have been applied in English only. The firm seeks to expand its matching rules to enable multilingual matching which will greatly increase the market for its Health Data Platform. It will first enable MSA (Modern Standard Arabic) matching before proceeding to create the required manual linking UI to support multilingual match remediation, specifically for French and German.
Description (French)
La gestion des données de référence (MDM) aide les organisations à résoudre le problème de la mise en correspondance des enregistrements (ou de la duplication des données). La MDM nécessite une combinaison de liens automatiques et manuels basés sur les résultats de la mise en correspondance générés. Les algorithmes actuellement testés, tels que Soundex ou Jaro-Winkler, n’ont été appliqués qu’en anglais. L’entreprise cherche à étendre ses règles de correspondance afin de permettre la correspondance multilingue, ce qui augmentera considérablement le marché de sa plateforme de données de santé. Elle permettra d’abord la correspondance MSA (arabe standard moderne) avant de créer l’interface utilisateur de liaison manuelle nécessaire pour prendre en charge la correction des correspondances multilingues, en particulier pour le français et l’allemand.
