Class AuthorMatcherStep<BA,EA>

java.lang.Object

eu.openaire.common.author.AuthorMatcherStep<BA,EA>

Type Parameters:

BA - The type containing the base author data.

EA - The type containing the enriching author data.

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class AuthorMatcherStep<BA,EA>
extends Object
implements Serializable

Represents a step in the author matching process, which applies a specific matching logic between a base author (BA) and an enriching author (EA).

This class encapsulates a matching function, an exclusion predicate, and a name for the matching step. It allows defining different strategies for comparing authors, such as full name matching and abbreviation-based matching.
