Abstract
Various systems and methods are provided for performing soft entity resolution. A plurality of data objects are retrieved from a plurality of data stores to create aggregated data objects for one or more entities. One or more retrieved data objects may be associated with the same entity, based at least in part upon one or more attribute types and attribute values of the data objects. In response to a determination that the one or more of the retrieved data objects should be associated with the same entity, metadata is generated that associates the data objects with the entity, the metadata being stored separately from the data objects, such that the underlying data objects remain unchanged. In addition, one or more additional attributes may be determined for the entity, based upon the data objects associated with the entity.
