Informatica acquired the Similarity product some months ago, which they assert is more modern than some competitors, and hence better suited to handle data beyond names/addresses. A key example would be product hierarchies/ taxonomies. I suggested they explore whether this could be leveraged for enterprises’ text technology architectures, specifically in the area of ontology management.
