Abstract

A computer implemented method comprising processing the unstructured objects of each record of records of a database for identifying a set of one or more values of attributes in the unstructured objects of the each record. The sets of unstructured attribute values of two records of the database may be compared for determining a similarity level between the two sets. It may be determined whether the two records are representing a same entity based on the comparison result.
