----------------------------------------
Some useful papers on the topic, and other resources too.
* [A Comparison of Personal Name Matching: Techniques and Practical Issues
(PDF)|http://users.cecs.anu.edu.au/~Peter.Christen/publications/tr-cs-06-02.pdf]
* [A Comparison of String Distance Metrics for Name-Matching Tasks
(PDF)|http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~wcohen/postscript/ijcai-ws-2003.pdf]
* [Edit distance on Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edit_distance)
> Have a clear distinction between Edit Distance, String Similarity, Score,
> Metric, etc

> From LANG-1269.
> A user reported a nomenclature issue in [lang], which occurs in [text] as
> well.
> Currently we have an interface called EditDistance, with the following
> implementations:
> * CosineDistance
> * HammingDistance
> * JaroWrinklerDistance
> * and LevenshteinDistance
> JaroWrinkler is actually a similarity score, and not a distance. We have
> other classes in the oact.similarity package too.
> * CosineSimilarity
> * FuzzyScore
> We need to provide users a clear distinction on what we call an edit
> distance, similarity or score.
