Abstract
A method and system for generating and using a master entity associative data network. The master entity associative data network system includes data sources storing data entities. Each data entity is of a specific entity type having specific entity properties, associations to other data entities, and an assigned common identifier label. Also, the master entity associative data network system includes a data processor configured to extract data entities from the data sources and extract associations to other data entities. The data processor stitches the data entities to each other based on at least one or more of the extracted associations, specific entity properties, and the common identifier label to generate one or more master data entities.
Claims28
A computer implemented method of generating a master entity associative data network, the method comprising:
- converting data from one or more sources to a computable relationship form;
- importing the computable relationship format to a unified data core;
- extracting data entities from the computable relationship format in the unified data core, wherein each data entity is of a specific entity type having specific entity properties, associations to other data entities, and an assigned common identifier label;
- extracting the associations to other data entities;
- stitching the data entities to each other based on at least one or more of the extracted associations, specific entity properties, and the assigned common identifier label to generate one or more master data entities;
- extracting additional associations between the one or more master data entities based on the extraction of associations to other data entities;
- and
- mapping the one or more master data entities according to a user preference to form the master entity associative data network.
A master entity associative data network system comprising:
- one or more data sources storing a plurality of data entities, wherein each data entity is of a specific entity type having specific entity properties, associations to other data entities, and an assigned common identifier label;
- and
- a data processor configured to extract data entities from the data sources and extract the associations to other data entities;
- wherein the data processor stitches the data entities to each other based on at least one or more of the extracted associations, specific entity properties, and the assigned common identifier label to generate one or more master data entities.
