As a motivating example, consider the following two equivalent ways to write a particular Manhattan street address with varying conventions and degrees of verbosity:
> 30 W 26th St Fl #7
> 30 West Twenty-sixth Street Floor Number 7
Obviously ’30 W 26th St Fl #7 != ’30 West Twenty-sixth Street Floor Number 7’ in a string comparison sense, but a human can grok that these two addresses refer to the same physical location.
