本文介绍了一种技术的标准化和编码文本出生地和职业字符串在英格兰和威尔士和苏格兰，1851年至1911年的人口普查。虽然这两种文本串的方法不同，但它们都是基于计算机技术，数学方法和专家知识的集成。这两个过程都使用结构化分析和设计技术方法正式描述。职业的分类是由两个算法定义的统计决策理论的基础上，以分配代码从原来的职业字符串。标准化教区的方法是基于原始出生地字符串和参考数据的比较。
This article presents a technique of standardising and coding textual birthplace and occupation strings in the censuses of England and Wales and Scotland, 1851-1911. While the approaches for the two text strings are different, they are both based upon the integration of computer technologies, mathematical methods, and expert knowledge. Both processes are described formally using Structured Analysis and Design Technique methodology. The classification of occupations is defined by two algorithms based on statistical decision theory in order to allocate codes from the original occupation strings. The method of standardising parishes is based on the comparison of original birthplace strings and reference data.
