Claim 14:
15. A system comprising:
a private data system that includes a private database and is part of a first enterprise;
wherein the private data system is configured to:
receive a first set of query attributes representing a first subject from a second enterprise;
send the first set of query attributes to a reference data system to verify an identity of the first subject, wherein the reference data system includes a reference database which 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, which includes one or more reference data attributes and which represents a selected reference subject, receive at the private data system a return message from the reference data system verifying the identity of the first subject as the selected reference subject, including a first set of combined attributes representing a verified first subject, wherein the first set of combined data attributes include 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;
determine whether the first set of combined data attributes representing the verified first subject resolves uniquely with at least one private data record contained in the private database and representing a selected private subject, the at least one private data record including one or more private data attributes;
on a condition that the verified first subject resolves uniquely with the selected private subject:
resolve with certainty the identity of the first subject represented by the first set of query attributes as the selected private subject by linking the selected private subject with the verified first subject;
store, in the at least one private data record, one or more of the first set of combined data attributes contained within the return message; and
return, to the second enterprise, one or more of the first set of combined data attributes.
