Abstract

An improved system for processing at least partially structured data includes a method for comparing a population of terms in a term repository, including standardizing each term within the population of terms based on at least one standardization rule. The method also includes comparing at least a pair of terms including determining a match between the terms if, once standardized, they are substantially identical.
