Abstract
A computer obtains records of multiple digital events from multiple vendors of digital event records, each digital event record having a digital ID of a user that initiated the respective digital event. A computer obtains at least one list of professional registry numbers of professionals in a profession. A computer classifies at least some portion of the digital event records and at least some internet web pages based on a standard taxonomical index. A computer identifies correlated identification data points among the digital event records and the professional registry records, and based on the taxonomic classification of pages and digital events, to infer a correlation between digital IDs from digital event records and actual physical identities of physical persons, and computing a parameter reflecting a degree of certainty of the inference.
