Method, System, and Computer Program Product for Managing Source Identifiers of Clustered Records

A system for managing source identifiers of clustered records, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions to direct the at least one processor to:
• receive a plurality of records, each record of the plurality of records comprising identification data associated with a source of the respective record;
• sort the plurality of records into a first plurality of clusters based on the identification data, each cluster of the first plurality of clusters including at least one record of the plurality of records;
• generate a first source identifier for each cluster of the first plurality of clusters;
• receive update data associated with an update to the plurality of records;
• sort at least some of the plurality of records into a second plurality of clusters based on the identification data and the update data, wherein a first cluster of the second plurality of clusters has first identification data different from the identification data associated with at least one cluster of the first plurality of clusters and a second cluster of the second plurality of clusters has second identification data that substantially matches the at least one cluster of the first plurality of clusters;
• and
• determine to assign the first source identifier of the at least one cluster of the first plurality of clusters to the first cluster of the second plurality of clusters.

A computer program product for managing source identifiers of clustered records, the computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium including one or more instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

• receive a plurality of records, each record of the plurality of records comprising identification data associated with a source of the respective record;
• sort the plurality of records into a first plurality of clusters based on the identification data, each cluster of the first plurality of clusters including at least one record of the plurality of records;
• generate a first source identifier for each cluster of the first plurality of clusters;
• receive update data associated with an update to the plurality of records;
• sort at least some of the plurality of records into a second plurality of clusters based on the identification data and the update data, wherein a first cluster of the second plurality of clusters has first identification data different from the identification data associated with at least one cluster of the first plurality of clusters and a second cluster of the second plurality of clusters has second identification data that substantially matches the at least one cluster of the first plurality of clusters;
• and
• determine to assign the first source identifier of the at least one cluster of the first plurality of clusters to the first cluster of the second plurality of clusters.
