Abstract
Primary value determination rules may be used by entity resolution system to select a “best” or “primary” value of an attribute from a plurality of attribute values. For example, the “best” name, address, phone number, etc. to use in presenting a summary of information about that entity may be determined. Further, the primary value determination rules may each be configured to assign a confidence score to the “best” values selected for of a given entity. Doing so allows a selection of a “best” value for a given attribute made by one rule to be overridden by a selection of another “best” value made by another rule for that same attribute.
