Abstract
A method for extracting a consistent set of entity identifiers including associating each of a first plurality of entity identifiers with at least one of a first plurality of GroupIDs, associating each of a second plurality of entity identifiers with at least one of a second plurality of GroupIDs, combining the first plurality of entity identifiers with the second plurality of entity identifiers to generate a third plurality of entity identifiers, where each of the third plurality of entity identifiers is associated with at least one of a third plurality of GroupIDs, linking at least one of the third plurality of GroupIDs with at least one of the first plurality of GroupIDs based on the third plurality of entity identifiers and the first plurality of entity identifiers, removing a contaminated entity identifier from the third plurality of entity identifiers to extract the consistent set of entity identifiers.
