Configuring a Standardization Structure for Business Names
The merged business name category file (bizCompanyMergerNames.dat) provides a list of companies whose name
changed because of a merger along with the name of the company after
the merge. It also classifies the business names into industry sectors and sub-sectors.
This enables the standardization engine to recognize the current company name and determine
the sector of the business. You can add entries to the business merger
name file using the following syntax.
former-name/merged-name sector-code
The following table describes each column in the merged business name category file.
