#36 Demotion of name translations from name to alias field in EU FSF sanctions list

Effective date:
Components affected:Datasets
Announcement:

For designated entries, the EU Financial Sanctions Files (FSF) sanctions list includes names translated to one or more of the official languages of the European Union.

Currently, all of these names are included in the name field, marking them as primary names. Once this change becomes effective, they will be listed in the alias field. The primary (English) name of the entry will still be listed in the name field.

This change is part of a broader effort to ensure that the name field only contains the highest-quality names available, and that names that can be considered less relevant are listed in alias and weakAlias fields instead.

Users of our hosted API and yente are not affected by this change, as the built-in scoring algorithms consider both the alias and the name fields for matching of names.
