Abstract
Methods and systems are described herein for managing an aggregation database. Matching rules that describe filters may be defined to determine how to match a media content record received from an external source to a stored record in the aggregation database. Fuzzy matching may be used to match attribute fields of the received record and stored records. Based on the results of the fuzzy matching, the received primary media content record may be linked to a stored record in the aggregation database.
