The repository is structured as follows:
data/contains scripts to generate and process the data sets used in the project.docs/contains the project documentation.qarin/contains the source code for the Qarin library.evaluate/contains the code for the evaluation of name matching algorithms.match/contains the code for the name matching algorithms.train/contains the code for the training of name matching algorithms.
tests/contains the unit tests for the Qarin Name Matching library.
