Term-Based Relations

term-based relations: A correction to a term that is part of a value in a DQS domain. A term-based relation enables multiple values that are identical except for the spelling of a common part of them to be considered as identical synonyms. For example, a term-based relation might change the term “Inc.” to “Incorporated” for every occurrence of the term “Inc.” in the domain. In this example, instances of “Contoso, Inc.” are changed to “Contoso, Incorporated”, and the two values are considered to be exact synonyms.
