Abstract
Management of data records corresponding to duplicate entities is provided, in which multiple data records are collapsed into a master data record for an entity. Attributes of the multiple data records which are to be included in the master data record for the entity are determined and a source data record is selected from the multiple data records to become the master data record. At least one remaining data record is a candidate data record to be collapsed into the master data record. The selected source data record is updated with the determined attributes to form the master data record. The selected source data record remains active in its database and becomes the master data record in response to the updating, and the at least one candidate data record is deactivated.
