A computing device, comprising:

• a processor;
• memory;
• and
• one or more programs for execution by the processor, the one or more programs when executed by the processor causing the computing device to:
• identify a set of values from a plurality of facts associated with an entity, wherein the plurality of facts are stored in a fact repository, and a respective fact in the plurality of facts includes:
• (i) an attribute descriptive of the fact;
• and
• (ii) a value corresponding to the attribute;
• responsive to a search for a first value, in the set of values, included in a first fact in the plurality of facts:
• identify, in the plurality of facts, a second fact associated with the entity;
• and
• cause to be displayed to a user:
• (A) a link to the second fact, wherein:
• the link, when selected, invokes a search of the fact repository in accordance with one or more search parameters;
• and
• the one or more search parameters include a value corresponding to an attribute included in the second fact;
• and
• (B) information representing a confidence value associated with the second fact.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by a computing device, the one or more programs when executed cause the computing device to:

• identify a set of values from a plurality of facts associated with an entity, wherein the plurality of facts are stored in a fact repository, and a respective fact in the plurality of facts includes:
• (i) an attribute descriptive of the fact;
• and
• (ii) a value corresponding to the attribute;
• responsive to a search for a first value, in the set of values, included in a first fact in the plurality of facts:
• identify, in the plurality of facts, a second fact associated with the entity;
• and
• cause to be displayed to a user:
• (A) a link to the second fact, wherein:
• the link, when selected, invokes a search of the fact repository in accordance with one or more search parameters;
• and
• the one or more search parameters include a value corresponding to an attribute included in the second fact;
• and
• (B) information representing a confidence value associated with the second fact.
