Abstract: There is provided a technique that includes (1) receiving a data element, (2) comparing the data element to a corresponding data element in a pend update history repository that contains changes that have occurred to the data element over time, thus yielding a comparison, (3) determining, based on the comparison, that the data element has changed, (4) checking that there is no update process running that might contain more up-to-date data for the data element, (5) relating the data element to a cutoff number that is associated with a particular range of time, and (6) updating corresponding data elements in (a) a full universe data repository that stores a current value for the data element and a previous value for the data element, and (b) a delta data repository that stores a record that indicates (i) that the data element is being updated, and (ii) the cutoff number.

Abstract: A system and a method for updating hierarchical family trees of organizations having related corporate members. The system includes a data processor; a memory for storing instructions for operation of the data processor, the instructions causing the processor to perform steps of accessing a comprehensive linkage repository having corporate linkage data stored therein; determining changes in the corporate linkage data; generating a change file representative of the changes in the corporate linkage data; using the change file to generate exceptions to the corporate linkage data stored in the repository; generating an updated hierarchical family tree in accordance with the exceptions; and storing the updated hierarchical family tree.
