Data in a plurality of databases are integrated by identifying the common data elements with equivalent semantics and selecting a preferred syntax for the data. A new record including the common data elements and data with preferred syntax is made available to users. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving a request to access a webpage to complete a web document; in response to receiving the request to access the web page, identifying a user who sent the request and examining data in a plurality of different data sources to determine a common data element in the plurality of data sources that includes information related to the identified user; identifying a preferred data format for the common data element; generating a modified common data element in which at least one of a first data item from the first data source or a second data item from the second data source is modified in accordance with the preferred data format; and automatically populating a field in the web document with the modified common data element. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein identifying a preferred data format for the common data element comprises: comparing a first format of the first data item from the first data source with a second format of the second data item from the second data source; identifying a difference in the first format and the second format based on the comparison; and in response to identifying the difference in the formats, selecting one of the first format and the second format as the preferred data format. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the web document is for applying for a product, and wherein populating the field in the web document comprises automatically filling out a field in an application for the product using the modified common data element. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprises: after identifying the common data element, storing the common data element in a database. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, further comprises providing the user with a database management system to access the database. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, further comprise providing the user with a web services application to access the database. ### Claim 7 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, further comprises providing a portal to access the database. ### Claim 8 A system, comprising: a memory; and a processor configured to execute instructions stored on the memory to perform operations comprising: receiving a request to access a webpage to complete a web document; in response to receiving the request to access the web page, identifying a user who sent the request and examining data in a plurality of different data sources to determine a common data element in the plurality of data sources that includes information related to the identified user; identifying a preferred data format for the common data element; generating a modified common data element in which at least one of a first data item from the first data source or a second data item from the second data source is modified in accordance with the preferred data format; and automatically populating a field in the web document with the modified common data element. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the instructions executable to identify the preferred data format for the common data element comprise instructions executable to: compare a first format of the first data item from the first data source with a second format of the second data item from the second data source; identify a difference in the first format and the second format based on the comparison; and in response to identifying the difference in the formats, select one of the first format and the second format as the preferred data format. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the web document is for applying for a product, and wherein populating the field in the web document comprises automatically filling out a field in an application for the product using the modified common data element. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the instructions include instructions executable to: after identifying the common data element, store the common data element in a database. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the instructions include instructions executable to provide the user with a database management system to access the database. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the instructions include instructions executable to provide the user with a web services application to access the database. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the instructions include instructions executable to provide a portal to access the database. ### Claim 15 A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon which, when executable by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising: receiving a request to access a webpage to complete a web document; in response to receiving the request to access the web page, identifying a user who sent the request and examining data in a plurality of different data sources to determine a common data element in the plurality of data sources that includes information related to the identified user; identifying a preferred data format for the common data element; generating a modified common data element in which at least one of a first data item from the first data source or a second data item from the second data source is modified in accordance with the preferred data format; and automatically populating a field in the web document with the modified common data element. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15, wherein the instructions executable to identify the preferred data format for the common data element comprise instructions executable to: compare a first format of the first data item from the first data source with a second format of the second data item from the second data source; identify a difference in the first format and the second format based on the comparison; and in response to identifying the difference in the formats, select one of the first format and the second format as the preferred data format. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15, wherein the web document is for applying for a product, and wherein populating the field in the web document comprises automatically filling out a field in an application for the product using the modified common data element. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15, wherein the instructions include instructions executable to: after identifying the common data element, store the common data element in a database. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 18, wherein the instructions include instructions executable to provide the user with a database management system to access the database. ### Claim 20 (depends on 18) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 18, wherein the instructions include instructions executable to provide the user with a web services application to access the database.
