5. >lingway█ Edinburgh meeting FNERC : name matching /normalization >Name Matching consists in matching co-referential NE, NUMEX and TIMEX inside a same product description >FNERC : use of value “attribute” that we add during FNERC module >Example : if in the same product description, we annotate twice a PROCESSOR (say Intel PIII and Intel Pentium III), they will have the same value Id, and then when filling the NE – PROCESSOR slot, the module will just add one to the slot >As for Normalisation, the same value Id will be used to fill the slot with the first synonym of the Ontology >Run with a XSLT style-sheet against the XHTML input file
