A library to generate entity fingerprints.
Project description
# fingerprints
This library helps with the generation of fingerprints for entity data. A fingerprint
in this context is understood as a simplified entity identifier, derived from it's
name or address and used for cross-referencing of entity across different datasets.
## Usage
```python
import fingerprints
fp = fingerprints.generate('Mr. Sherlock Holmes')
assert fp == 'holmes sherlock'
fp = fingerprints.generate('Siemens Aktiengesellschaft')
assert fp == 'ag siemens'
fp = fingerprints.generate('New York, New York')
assert fp == 'new york'
```
