Abstract
Improvements in data processing to match entities allow for more accurate records to be kept, with less memory storage used and fewer processing resources to be expended when accessing records. When receiving a request for an identifier for an entity, the request is parsed to identify various demographic fields within the request. A probabilistic search is performed to compare the entity to the candidate records that are augmented with expanded demographic data, which improve the reliability in matching the requested entity to its records. As updates are made to the external resources, the requests are rerun to update the internal resource and to eliminate any new identifiers created due to non-updated data, thus reducing data storage overhead.
