+## Overview
+
+`run_affro` is the main entry point of the **AffRo** affiliation-matching pipeline. It takes a raw affiliation string (as it appears in a publication metadata record) and returns a list of matched organizations with their identifiers (ROR and/or OpenOrgs), confidence scores, status and location information.
+
+```python
+from core import run_affro
+
+results = run_affro("Department of Physics, University of Milan, Italy")
+```

+
+---
+
+## Stage 1 — `direct_mapping(aff)`
+
+**File:** `helpers/direct_mapping.py`
+
+A fast, rule-based pre-processor that recognises affiliation strings belonging to specific **institute families** (Fraunhofer, CNR, Max Planck, Helmholtz, Leibniz, FORTH, Demokritos, IRCCS, …).
+
+### What it does
+
+1. Produce a normalized, stemmed version of the raw string.
+2. Checks for the presence of family-specific keywords (e.g. `fraunhofer`, `cnr`, `max planck`).
+3. For each recognized family, iterates over pre-built sorted key lists (longest keys first for specificity) and checks whether the key appears close enough to the trigger word using a character-distance heuristic:
+   ```
+   distance(aff, trigger_word, key) < len(key) + len(trigger_word) + threshold
+   ```
+4. When a key matches, appends its ROR/OpenOrgs ID to `assigned` and removes the matched substring from the affiliation string (producing `shorten_aff`).
+
+### Returns
+
+```python
+[list_of_direct_results, shortened_aff_string]
+# list_of_direct_results: [] if nothing was matched, otherwise list of result dicts
+# shortened_aff_string:   original affiliation with matched parts stripped out
+```
+
+The result dicts from direct mapping use `provenance = "affro_direct"`.
 
 
--  `helpers/create_input.py`, `helpers/matching.py`, contain the main algorithm (preprocessing and matching phase, respectively).
+## Stage 2 — `run_affro_(raw_aff_string)`
+
+**File:** `core.py`
+
+The core matching logic, applied after (or instead of) `direct_mapping`.
+
+### Step 2.1 — normalization of `raw_aff_string`
+
+**File:** `helpers/functions.py`
+
+A lightweight, fast normalization pass that produces a single flat string key used for `dix_name` lookup. It does **not** segment the affiliation — that is left for the algorithm path.
+
+**Main transformations applied (in order):**
+
+| Step | Transformation |
+|---|---|
+| 1 | `unidecode` (remove accents / transliterate) |
+| 2 | `process_parentheses` (keep parens with univ/hospital; drop others) |
+| 3 | `replace_comma_spaces`, `replace_double_consonants`, `replace_underscore` |
+| 4 | Lowercase, `replace_roman_numerals`, `remove_stop_words` |
+| 5 | Remove non-alphanumeric except `,;/:.−` |
+| 6 | `remove_multi_digit_numbers` |
+| 7 | Replace `:`, `;`, `/`, `—` → `,`   |
+| 8 | `normalize_organization_names` (stem `university` → `univer`, `institution` → `instit`, etc.) |
+
+**Returns:** a single normalised string, e.g.:  
+`"univer milan, italy"` for input `"University of Milan, Italy"`
+
+### Step 2.2 — `dix_name` lookup
+
+`dix_name` is a dictionary loaded from `jsons/dix_name.json.gz`.  
+
+**Structure:**
+```json
+{
+  "instit information science techn": [
+    {
+      "id": "https://ror.org/05kacka20",
+	  "city": ["pisa"],
+	  "country": ["italy"],
+	  "label": "cnr",
+	  "first": "y"
+    },
+    ...
+  ]
+}
+```

-##  Testing
-- test.ipynb 
+## Algorithm Path — `produce_result(input, simU, simG, limit)`
 
-## Description of the algorithm
+Used when the fast path fails. Called with `simU=0.42`, `simG=0.82`, `limit=500`.
 
-### Goal: Identify organizations inside a raw affiliation string and match the corresponding ROR ids.
+### `create_df_algorithm(raw_aff_string, radius_u)` — `helpers/create_input.py`
 
-### Steps:
+Segments and enriches the affiliation string into a structured input representation.
 
-- **Preprocessing phase:** 
-1. Cleaning and stemming
-2. Keyword labeling and partitioning
-3. Partition pruning and string shortening
-- **Matching phase:**
-1. Candidate identification and refinement
-2. Results disambiguation
+**Steps:**
 
-### Basic parameters:
-1. Threshold for university related organizations (default 0.42).
-2. Threshold for other organizations (default 0.82).
-3. Context window for trimming text around the term "university" (default 3)
+1. `clean_string()` — full normalisation (includes `insert_space_between_lower_and_upper`, `replace_newlines_with_space`, `replace_double_consonants`, etc.)
+2. `remove_outer_parentheses`, `remove_leading_numbers`
+3. `description(clean_aff)` → detects countries present in the string
+4. `substrings_dict(reduce(clean_aff))` — segments the affiliation on `,;/:|` and `-` and applies `normalize_organization_names` to each segment
+5. `replace_abbr_univ` — expands abbreviations like `"u Milan"` → `"univer Milan"`
+6. Merges protected terms (e.g. `"univer california"`) with adjacent city/country tokens
+7. Removes city-only or remove-list tokens
+8. `shorten_keywords([x], radius_u)` — further reduces keywords
+9. `valueToCategory(keyword)` — classifies each keyword (Academia, Hospitals, Specific, …)
+
+**Returns:**
+```python
+[clean_aff, light_aff, aff_list, countries_list, keys_list]
+# clean_aff:      normalised full string
+# light_aff:      comma-joined list of segments
+# aff_list:       list of {index, keywords, category} dicts
+# countries_list: detected country names
+# keys_list:      special category keys found
+```
+
+### `find_name(input, dix_name, simU, simG, limit)` — `helpers/find_name.py`
+
+Matches each keyword segment against `dix_name` candidates, using similarity scoring.
+
+**Steps:**
+
+1. `get_candidates(countries_list, keys_list)` → restricts the search space by country and special category keys (intersection of `dix_country_legalnames` and `dix_key_legalnames`).
+2. For each keyword `s`:
+   - If `s` is directly in `candidates` → exact "lucky" match (score = 1).
+   - Otherwise → `find_candidate(s, ...)` applies cosine similarity / edit-distance scoring against candidates, bounded by `simU` (universities) or `simG` (others).
+3. `index_multiple_matchings(pairs)` detects keywords matched by >1 candidate.
+4. `best_sim_score(...)` resolves multi-matched keywords using the full clean/light affiliation string.
+5. `unique_subset(best0, best1)` de-duplicates.
+
+**Returns:** `[[name, score], ...]`
+
+### `find_id(aff_input, best_names, dix_name, simG)` — `helpers/find_id.py`
+
+Resolves each matched name to a specific organization ID, disambiguating when a name maps to multiple organizations in different countries/cities.
+
+**Disambiguation cascade (in order):**
+
+| Step | Strategy |
+|---|---|
+| 1 | City **and** Country match |
+| 2 | Country direct match |
+| 3 | Special country synonyms (US states, UK variants,…) |
+| 4 | City match (city not embedded in org name) |
+| 5 | Country appears in affiliation |
+| 6 | Country appears in both affiliation and org name |
+| 7 | Specific/Acronym category → prefer `top_level`, then `parent` |
+| 8 | Fallback: `first == 'y'` for non-department, non-lab, non-low-prob-country orgs |
+
+**Returns:** `[[name, score, id], ...]` (deduplicated, highest score per ID kept)
+
+### `disamb(input, id_list_, dix_id)` — `helpers/disambiguation.py`
+
+Final post-processing to resolve cases where multiple organizations were matched.
+
+**Logic:**
+
+| Condition | Action |
+|---|---|
+| Single result | Return as-is |
+| No country detected in affiliation | Keep same-country results |
+| More active results than detected countries | Filter by country (with special handling for country names like US, UK,...) |
+| Otherwise | Return all results |
+
+**Returns:** Full result list (see Output Schema below).
+
+---
+
+## Output Schema
+
+Each item in the returned list is a dictionary:
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `provenance` | `str` | `"affro"` (algorithm path) or `"affro_direct"` (direct mapping) |
+| `version` | `str` | Pipeline version (ex. `"3.3.0"`) |
+| `pid` | `str` | `"ror"` or `"openorgs"` |
+| `value` | `str` | The organization identifier (ROR ID or OpenOrgs ID) |
+| `name` | `str` | Official organization name |
+| `confidence` | `float` | Match confidence score (0–1) |
+| `status` | `str` | `"active"`, `"inactive"`, `"withdrawn"`, or `"merged"` |
+| `country` | `list[str]` | Country or countries associated with the organization |
+
+**Example output:**
+```json
+[
+  {
+    "provenance": "affro",
+    "version": "3.3.0",
+    "pid": "ror",
+    "value": "https://ror.org/019kf3481",
+    "name": "OpenAIRE Non-Profit Civil Partnership",
+    "confidence": 1,
+    "status": "active",
+    "country": ["greece"]
+  }
+]
+```
+
+> [NOTE]
+> When an organization is inactive/withdrawn, affro also appends the active successor(s) from `dix_id[id]['status'][1]` as separate entries in the list.
+
+---
+
+## Data Dictionaries
+
+### `dix_name` — `jsons/dix_name.json.gz`
+
+Maps **normalised name keys** to a list of candidate organizations. Each candidate has:
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `id` | `str` | ROR URI or OpenOrgs ID |
+| `first` | `str` | `"y"` if this is the canonical/primary org for this key |
+| `label` | `str` \| `null` | Family label (e.g. `"fraunhofer"`, `"cnr"`) used by direct mapping |
+| `country` | `list[str]` | Country names |
+| `city` | `list[str]` | City names |
+
+### `dix_id` — `jsons/dix_id.json.gz`
+
+Maps **organization IDs** to metadata:
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `name` | `str` | Official name |
+| `country` | `list[str]` | Country |
+| `status` | `list` | `[primary_status, [successor_ids]]` |
+| `top_level` | `str` | `"y"` if the org has no parent |
+| `parent` | `str` | `"y"` if the org is a parent to others |
+
+---
+
+## Usage
+
+### Command-line
+
+Run a quick test directly from the terminal (no script needed):
+
+```bash
+python -c "from affro.core import run_affro; import json; print(json.dumps(run_affro('Department of Chemistry, ETH Zurich, Switzerland'), indent=2))"
+```

+| Input | Fast path taken | Reason |
+|---|---|---|
+| `"University of Cambridge"` | `dix_name` exact match | `"univer cambridge"` found in `dix_name` |
+| `"Fraunhofer, Institute for Industrial Engineering, Stuttgart"` | Direct mapping | `"fraunhofer"` + `"instit industrial engineering"` triggers `direct_mapping` |
+| `"Dept. of Physics, Univ. of Auckland, NZ"` | Algorithm path | Lucky key not in `dix_name` |
+| Inactive ROR org | Fast path + successor | Status list contains successor ID → appended to result |
 
+---
+
+## Error Handling
+
+- Any exception inside `run_affro_` is caught, logged to stdout with the input string, and an empty list `[]` is returned.
+- An empty result list `[]` indicates no match was found or an error occurred.

+# aff_list:       list of {index, keywords, category} dicts
+# countries_list: detected country names
+# keys_list:      special category keys found
+```
+
+### `find_name(input, dix_name, simU, simG, limit)` — `helpers/find_name.py`
+
+Matches each keyword segment against `dix_name` candidates, using similarity scoring.
+
+**Steps:**
+
+1. `get_candidates(countries_list, keys_list)` → restricts the search space by country and special category keys (intersection of `dix_country_legalnames` and `dix_key_legalnames`).
+2. For each keyword `s`:
+   - If `s` is directly in `candidates` → exact "lucky" match (score = 1).
+   - Otherwise → `find_candidate(s, ...)` applies cosine similarity / edit-distance scoring against candidates, bounded by `simU` (universities) or `simG` (others).
+3. `index_multiple_matchings(pairs)` detects keywords matched by >1 candidate.
+4. `best_sim_score(...)` resolves multi-matched keywords using the full clean/light affiliation string.
+5. `unique_subset(best0, best1)` de-duplicates.
+
+**Returns:** `[[name, score], ...]`
+
+### `find_id(aff_input, best_names, dix_name, simG)` — `helpers/find_id.py`
+
+Resolves each matched name to a specific organization ID, disambiguating when a name maps to multiple organizations in different countries/cities.
+
+**Disambiguation cascade (in order):**
+
+| Step | Strategy |
+|---|---|
+| 1 | City **and** Country match |
+| 2 | Country direct match |
+| 3 | Special country synonyms (US states, UK variants,…) |
+| 4 | City match (city not embedded in org name) |
+| 5 | Country appears in affiliation |
+| 6 | Country appears in both affiliation and org name |
+| 7 | Specific/Acronym category → prefer `top_level`, then `parent` |
+| 8 | Fallback: `first == 'y'` for non-department, non-lab, non-low-prob-country orgs |
+
+**Returns:** `[[name, score, id], ...]` (deduplicated, highest score per ID kept)
+
+### `disamb(input, id_list_, dix_id)` — `helpers/disambiguation.py`
+
+Final post-processing to resolve cases where multiple organizations were matched.
+
+**Logic:**
+
+| Condition | Action |
+|---|---|
+| Single result | Return as-is |
+| No country detected in affiliation | Keep same-country results |
+| More active results than detected countries | Filter by country (with special handling for country names like US, UK,...) |
+| Otherwise | Return all results |
+
+**Returns:** Full result list (see Output Schema below).
+
+---
+
+## Output Schema
+
+Each item in the returned list is a dictionary:
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `provenance` | `str` | `"affro"` (algorithm path) or `"affro_direct"` (direct mapping) |
+| `version` | `str` | Pipeline version (ex. `"3.3.0"`) |
+| `pid` | `str` | `"ror"` or `"openorgs"` |
+| `value` | `str` | The organization identifier (ROR ID or OpenOrgs ID) |
+| `name` | `str` | Official organization name |
+| `confidence` | `float` | Match confidence score (0–1) |
+| `status` | `str` | `"active"`, `"inactive"`, `"withdrawn"`, or `"merged"` |
+| `country` | `list[str]` | Country or countries associated with the organization |
+
+**Example output:**
+```json
+[
+  {
+    "provenance": "affro",
+    "version": "3.3.0",
+    "pid": "ror",
+    "value": "https://ror.org/019kf3481",
+    "name": "OpenAIRE Non-Profit Civil Partnership",
+    "confidence": 1,
+    "status": "active",
+    "country": ["greece"]
+  }
+]
+```
+
+> [NOTE]
+> When an organization is inactive/withdrawn, affro also appends the active successor(s) from `dix_id[id]['status'][1]` as separate entries in the list.
+
+---
+
+## Data Dictionaries
+
+### `dix_name` — `jsons/dix_name.json.gz`
+
+Maps **normalised name keys** to a list of candidate organizations. Each candidate has:
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `id` | `str` | ROR URI or OpenOrgs ID |
+| `first` | `str` | `"y"` if this is the canonical/primary org for this key |
+| `label` | `str` \| `null` | Family label (e.g. `"fraunhofer"`, `"cnr"`) used by direct mapping |
+| `country` | `list[str]` | Country names |
+| `city` | `list[str]` | City names |
+
+### `dix_id` — `jsons/dix_id.json.gz`
+
+Maps **organization IDs** to metadata:
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `name` | `str` | Official name |
+| `country` | `list[str]` | Country |
+| `status` | `list` | `[primary_status, [successor_ids]]` |
+| `top_level` | `str` | `"y"` if the org has no parent |
+| `parent` | `str` | `"y"` if the org is a parent to others |
+
+---
+
+## Usage
+
+### Command-line
+
+Run a quick test directly from the terminal (no script needed):
+
+```bash
+python -c "from affro.core import run_affro; import json; print(json.dumps(run_affro('Department of Chemistry, ETH Zurich, Switzerland'), indent=2))"
+```
 
 
-## Contact
+### Expected behaviour by case
 
-If you have any questions, comments, or issues, please feel free to contact me. You can reach me via email at [myrto.kallipoliti@gmail.com]. Feedback and contributions are also welcome.
+| Input | Fast path taken | Reason |
+|---|---|---|
+| `"University of Cambridge"` | `dix_name` exact match | `"univer cambridge"` found in `dix_name` |
+| `"Fraunhofer, Institute for Industrial Engineering, Stuttgart"` | Direct mapping | `"fraunhofer"` + `"instit industrial engineering"` triggers `direct_mapping` |
+| `"Dept. of Physics, Univ. of Auckland, NZ"` | Algorithm path | Lucky key not in `dix_name` |
+| Inactive ROR org | Fast path + successor | Status list contains successor ID → appended to result |
 
+---
+
+## Error Handling
+
+- Any exception inside `run_affro_` is caught, logged to stdout with the input string, and an empty list `[]` is returned.
+- An empty result list `[]` indicates no match was found or an error occurred.
