Hybrid data integration platform

Abstract:

In general, embodiments of the present invention provide systems and computer readable media for implementing a single data integration platform that supports multiple data access interfaces to a single corpus of stored dynamic data collected from multiple data sources. In embodiments, the data integration platform includes a record tables layer that stores a group of data records and supports a CRUD interface for accessing the data records; a resolution mapping layer that stores a set of entities generated by a many-to-one mapping of data records to entities using entity resolution; and an entities layer that stores resolved entities which may be accessed via either a search interface based on search criteria or a hybrid search interface that supports "get via record id" queries.
