Claim 7:
8. A method comprising:
receiving, at a reference data system that includes a reference database, a first query message from a private data system comprising a first set of query attributes that represents a first subject to verify an identity of the first subject, wherein the reference database contains a plurality of identity data records that only contain identity attributes that are used for resolving and verifying identities of unknown data records that are external to the reference data system;
on a condition that the first subject resolves uniquely with one reference data record, contained in the reference database, that includes one or more reference data attributes which represent a selected reference subject, sending to the private data system a return message verifying the identity of the first subject as the selected reference subject, including a first set of combined data attributes representing a verified first subject, wherein the first set of combined data attributes includes the first set of query attributes representing the first subject and one or more reference data attributes representing the selected reference subject, wherein the return message establishes to the private data system that the first subject, the selected reference subject, and the verified first subject are all the same subject; and
on a condition that the selected reference subject represented by the first set of combined data attributes resolves uniquely with a selected private subject represented by at least one private data record containing one or more private data attributes contained in a private database:
resolving with certainty the identity of the first subject, represented by the first set of query attributes, as the selected private subject by linking, in the private database, the selected private subject with the verified first subject, represented by the first set of combined data attributes;
storing, in the at least one private data record of the private data system, one or more of the first set of combined data attributes contained within the return message in the at least one private data record; and
returning, to the second enterprise, one or more of the first set of combined data attributes.
