Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: receiving, by an online data fusion system comprising a processor, answers to a query from at least two probed sources in response to probing the at least two probed sources; computing, by the processor of the online data fusion system, a probability that each answer of the answers is correct based, at least in part, upon a copying relationship between at least two of the at least two probed sources, wherein computing the probability that each answer of the answers is correct comprises when the online data fusion system gains enough confidence that, based upon the probability that each answer of the answers is correct, probing an additional source is unlikely to change the first answer, terminating, by processor, probing without probing the additional source; and providing, by the processor of the online data fusion system, the first answer of the answers in response to the query.
