Background and Objective: Matching corresponding data elements is a critical problem in biomedical data harmonization for data sharing. The similarity of the element names is one of the many factors employed in determining data element matches. Determining name similarity is complicated by the fact that data element names in biomedical data are composite i.e., composed of multiple components. We provide a better approach to determining element name similarity for composite element names.
