    Abstract: An apparatus and method to increase accuracy in individual attributes derived from anonymous aggregate data uses aggregation keys in order to retrieve distribution sets and generate best-effort results for individual attributes. Multiple aggregation keys may be utilized to which individual attributes may be cross-mapped. The aggregation keys may be divided into location-based aggregation keys and name-based aggregation keys. The resulting data may be of varying granularity depending upon the granularity of the aggregation key used for the distribution and to generate the attributes.
