  • Patent number: 11556944
    Abstract: A master data management (MDM) computing device may determine that a first composite data entity that includes a first transaction member record assigned with a first source identifier for a first user by a data source is linked with a second transaction member record assigned with the first source identifier for a second user by the data source. The MDM computing device may flag the second transaction member record as a suspect record for corrupting the first composite data entity when a comparison between first information contained in the first transaction member record and second information contained in the second transaction member record exceeds a predetermined threshold. The MDM computing device may create an overlay task for the second transaction member record, thereby preventing the second transaction member record from corrupting the first composite data entity.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11100519
    Abstract: Embodiments are provided for evaluating information within a master data management (MDM) system. According to certain aspects, a MDM computing device may receive a first transaction member record and a second transaction member record assigned with the same source identifier from the same data source and linked to a composite data entity. The MDM computing device may determine, in response to receiving the second transaction member record, an overlay score between the first transaction member record and the second transaction member record. The MDM computing device may generate a notification indicative of the overlay or create an overlay task for the second transaction member record based on the overlay score by (i) unlinking the second transaction member record from the composite data entity and (ii) storing the second transaction member record in a quarantine queue as a singleton record linked to a dummy composite data entity.
