A system for ontology candidate selection and comparison including a microprocessor and an ontology candidate selection component executing on the microprocessor and configured to compare at least a portion of a plurality of ontology candidates based on a candidate selection rule, and based on said comparison, select from the plurality of ontology candidates a pair of ontologies. The system further includes an ontology similarity component coupled to the ontology candidate selection component and configured to generate a similarity outcome related to the pair of ontologies based on a similarity rule and evaluate at least one of: the candidate selection rule or the similarity rule based on the similarity outcome.

Method and system for ontology candidate selection, comparison, and alignment

In accordance with particular embodiments, a method includes receiving data from disparate data sources comprising data associated with different people. At least one of the data sources comprises data associated with at least one common person. The method also includes extracting at least one record from each of the disparate data sources. Each extracted record is associated with a corresponding person and comprises at least one feature associated with the corresponding person. The method additionally includes distributing the records to computers configured to identify matches between the records based on at least one matching feature associated with two or more records. The method further includes merging the at least one feature from each of the records of each corresponding match into merged records, each merged record corresponding to a different match. The method also includes generating at least one fused view associated with the at least one common person and comprising a merged record.

Method and apparatus for generating a fused view of one or more people

A system and method for interactive knowledge visualization are provided. In some embodiments, a method for interactive knowledge visualization includes receiving, at a knowledge visualization server, a request for one or more visualizations; retrieving data associated with the one or more visualizations from one or more databases; converting the data associated with the one or more visualizations into visualization data, the visualization data being operable to be converted by a client into the one or more visualizations; transmitting, to a first client and a second client, the visualization data; receiving, at the knowledge visualization server, a modification request from the first client, the modification request indicating a desired modification to at least one of the one or more visualizations; modifying, in response to the modification request, the visualization data associated with the one or more visualizations; and transmitting, to the first client and second client, the modified visualization data.
