Second Generation Name Matching Methods

Second generation name matching methods (G2 Methods) are direct progressions from G1 Methods. They have solved some of the most obvious problems of their predecessors and, as a result, provide marked improvements in both precision and recall. For the most part, they represent relatively recent developments and so have been designed with more modern technological capabilities in mind. Overall, they provide clear advantages over G1 Methods, but the market has not adopted them as enthusiastically as might have been expected.
