    This is the Oxford Name Compression Algorithm, based on :cite:`Gill:1997`.

    I can find no complete description of the "anglicised version of the NYSIIS
    method" identified as the first step in this algorithm, so this is likely
    not a precisely correct implementation, in that it employs the standard
    NYSIIS algorithm.
