Resolving database entity information

Abstract:

A method of matching a plurality of imported data entities to a plurality of existing data entities in a database is disclosed. The method comprises receiving imported data comprising imported data entities each having one or more properties each having one or more values; and causing presentation of a graphical user interface (GUI) that displays values for the one or more properties over the imported data and allows selection of a property having a certain value. The method further comprises receiving first input specifying first matching criteria that is based at least in part on a first subset of one or more properties of the imported data entities; and receiving second input specifying second matching criteria that is different from the first matching criteria and that is based at least in part on a second subset of the one or more properties of the imported data entities, wherein the second subset of the one or more properties is different than the first subset of one or more properties. The method also comprises receiving a first selection of a first of the one or more properties having a first value and a second selection of a second of the one or more properties having a second value through the GUI; and generating a first subset of the imported data entities based on the first selection and a second subset of the imported data entities based on the second selection. Finally, the method comprises matching the first subset of the imported data entities to a first subset of the existing data entities using the first matching criteria and using a first matching technique; and matching the second subset of the imported data entities to a second subset of the existing data entities using the second matching criteria and using a second matching technique, where the method is performed using one or more processors.
