| moved to |
> |
Means that the candidate field was moved to another field to match e.g. number moved to flat |
| moved from |
< |
Means that the candidate field was moved from another field to match on this field |
| field merged |
f |
when moved from and to, the fields are then merged to match |
| ABP field ignored |
i |
ABP field was ignored in order to match i.e. the ABP address contained more precise detail than the candidate but was unnecessary in order to match. This usually means that the candidate field is null |
| Candidate field dropped |
d |
The candidate field was dropped in order to match i.e. the candidate address has more precise detail than the authority address. The ABP address would probably be null |
| Matched as parent |
a |
The candidate field matched as being at a higher level than the ABP field, for example flat 6 matching to flat 6a |
| Matched as child |
c |
The candidate field matched as being at a lower level than the ABP field, for example candidate flat 6a, ABP flat 6 |
| Partial match |
p |
The candidate field was partially matched to the ABP field (or vice versa) typically 2 out of 3 words |
| Possible spelling error |
l |
The candidate field and ABP field were matched using the Levenshtein distance algorithm taking account of misspellings |
| Level based match |
v |
The level of a flat in a building (vertical from the street) was used to create the match e.g. 2b for second floor b |
| Equivalent |
e |
The fields are equivalent, albeit not necessarily spelled the same, using various equivalence lists, word swaps, word drops etc |
