Abstract
A system for resolving conflicts between data source updates and user edits to an ontology before applying the resulting changes to the ontology and related methods are disclosed. The system is programmed to receive data source updates from data sources and transform the data source updates to updates to ontology data. The system is also programmed to receive edits to ontology data from user accounts. The system is programmed to review these updates or edits to the ontology and resolve conflicts according to a predetermined strategy, such as prioritizing a user edit over a data source update. The resulting changes are incorporated to one or more databases where representations of the ontology data are stored.
