Abstract
A method of integrating data objects includes: storing (i) an originating record containing a first unique identifier and a first set of data fields defining a first item supplied by a first provider, and (ii) a destination record containing a second unique identifier and a second set of data fields defining a second item supplied by a second provider; receiving an instruction to merge the originating record into the destination record, the request containing the first and second unique identifiers; in response to receiving the instruction, updating the destination record by: comparing the first set of data fields with the second set of data fields; and for each data field of the first set that matches a corresponding data field of the second set, marking the corresponding data field of the second set as a shared field; and sending the updated destination record to a client device for display.
