Abstract
In accordance with particular embodiments, a method includes receiving data from disparate data sources comprising data associated with different people. At least one of the data sources comprises data associated with at least one common person. The method also includes extracting at least one record from each of the disparate data sources. Each extracted record is associated with a corresponding person and comprises at least one feature associated with the corresponding person. The method additionally includes distributing the records to computers configured to identify matches between the records based on at least one matching feature associated with two or more records. The method further includes merging the at least one feature from each of the records of each corresponding match into merged records, each merged record corresponding to a different match. The method also includes generating at least one fused view associated with the at least one common person and comprising a merged record.
