Abstract
Methods and apparatuses related to federated search of multiple sources with conflict resolution are disclosed. A method may comprise obtaining a set of data ontologies (e.g., types, properties, and links) associated with a plurality of heterogeneous data sources; receiving a selection of a graph comprising a plurality of graph nodes connected by one or more graph edges; and transforming the graph into one or more search queries across the plurality of heterogeneous data sources. A method may comprise obtaining a first data object as a result of executing a first search query across a plurality of heterogeneous data sources; resolving, based on one or more resolution rules, at least the first data object with a repository data object; deduplicating data associated with at least the first data object and the repository data object prior to storing the deduplicated data in a repository that has a particular data model.
