Abstract
A method and a system for creating entity records. The method includes extracting data records from existing data sources, the data records including entity names and attributes associated therewith; identifying the entity names and attributes corresponding thereto, in each extracted data record; classifying identified entity attributes, based on attribute signatures associated therewith; clustering data records based on similar classified entity attributes and/or similar entity names; comparing entity attributes in clustered data records to identify entity attributes with missing attributes data; assigning representative attributes data to entity attributes with missing attributes data; combining clustered data records to form entity record segments; clustering entity record segments based on similar identity signatures thereof; comparing relevant entity attributes of clustered entity record segments to identify entity record segments having a relation therebetween; and combining related entity record segments to form entity records.
