Abstract
A system for identifying relationships between database records includes a memory operable to store a plurality of records comprising a first record and at least one second record. Each record comprises at least one of a plurality of tokens. The system also includes one or more processors collectively operable to determine a weight associated with each of the tokens, compare at least one second record to the first record, and determine at least one relationship indicator based on the comparison and at least one of the weights. The at least one relationship indicator identifies a level of relationship between the first record and at least one second record.
