Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for processing data records in multiple languages within an identity hub to identify data records in different languages associated with a common entity, the method comprising: associating a data record received at said identity hub with a language; mapping said language to a particular member type in said identity hub; applying a language-specific derivation code on attributes of said data record based on said particular member type, wherein said language-specific derivation code comprises language-specific standardization and language-independent bucketing, and wherein said language-specific standardization standardizes said attributes of said data record with respect to said language and said language-independent bucketing produces a set of candidate data records for comparison with said data record; comparing said standardized attributes of said data record with one or more standardized attributes of said candidate data records, wherein said comparing includes: linking said data record to one or more candidate data records based on the score to associate said data record with one or more entities associated with said linked candidate data records; and selecting and applying one or more algorithms to process entities in individual languages, wherein at least two data records of different languages are associated with a common entity.
