Attribute database system and method

Abstract:

A method is disclosed. The method includes receiving, by a server computer from a resource provider computer, interaction data comprising a user identifier, a resource provider identifier, and a resource identifier. The interaction data is associated with an interaction between a resource provider and a user. The server computer can then determine a set of attribute types specifically associated with the resource provider identifier and the resource identifier. The server can then determine a set of user attributes associated with the set of attribute types using the user identifier. The server computer can then execute a query comprising one or more questions on the set of user attributes to determine if the one or more questions are satisfied. Next, if the one or more questions are satisfied, then the server computer can perform additional processing associated with the interaction.
