Used, usu. attrib., with reference to a phonetic coding system intended to suppress spelling variations, used esp. in Med. to encode surnames for record linkage.

1959Science 16 Oct. 955/3 The surnames were first reduced to phonetic codes, consisting in each case of the first letter of the name followed by three numeric digits and known as the Russell Soundex Code. Ibid. 958/1 The family names on all cards in both files were Soundex coded by means of the computer. 1967Amer. Jrnl. Human Genetics XIX. 340 The usefulness of surname information in its Soundex coded form can be shown to be considerably greater than that of the full alphabetic surnames. 1968Brit. Med. Bull. XXIV. 207/2 The master file of identities of patients is held on magnetic tape in a quasi-alphabetical sequence, based on the Soundex code of surnames. 1970Jrnl. Interdisciplinary Hist. I. 116 Our data are apparently twice as resistant to Soundex coding as Nitzberg's. Ibid. 117 No simple strategy such as ‘search one Soundex pocket before and one after’ will enable us to effect more linkages. Ibid., We..first applied our pretreatments to all surnames in our test file..and then applied the files of Soundex to the pretreated surnames. 1972Computers & Humanities VI. 190 In the first attempt a quasi-alphabetic sequence known as the Soundex code, which has been used in the field of medical record linkage, was utilized. The Soundex system sets aside the least reliable portions of Anglo-Saxon surnames, thus Smith/Smyth/Smythe all are codified the same. |
