Abstract
A system and method for evaluating claims from sources to update database records. A trust score is developed for each source. If a source submits a claim, the trust score for that source and the value of the claim are evaluated against prior conflicting claims. If the current claim is deemed the most likely, then it is adopted as provisional “truth”. If not, the current claim is rejected.
