Abstract
Resolving conflicting data among data objects associated with a common entity includes assigning an ordered sequence of data analysis processes to a corresponding data field of a plurality of data objects associated with a common entity. At least two of the data objects include different values for the corresponding data field, and each data analysis process performs a different technique to resolve conflicts between different values of data. The ordered sequence of data analysis processes is executed to determine a consensus value to serve as a value for the corresponding data field of each of the plurality of data objects. The data analysis processes are successively executed in the ordered sequence until the consensus value is determined for the corresponding data field.
