What you are trying to do is called record linkage. There is a fair
amount of info in the Lucene archives on this, see http://www.lucidimagination.com/search/?q=record+linkage
As Erick says, you will need more info than just the name to do
this. I doubt you will be able to get completely automated, but you
should be able to obtain good results such that the outliers are easy
for a human to handle.

Hi...
This may/may not have anything to do with Lucene/Nutch, but I
figured I'd
ask/post anyway.
I'm working on a project, dealing with courses/classes on college
sites. I'm
trying to figure out how to create an automated process where I can
create a
process to link a given faculty member to a given class..
The issue arises where a class will have an instructor. However,
there might
be multiple instructors with the same name listed in the faculty/staff
directory for the college. I'm interested in various/different
approaches to
solving this issue. My hope is that someone here might have a
pointer.reference to areas that I can examine/research to figure
this out..
Thanks in advance for any assistance with this issue.
Thanks
