What is Qbase's approach to data fusion?

We've had some questions recently on what the Qbase approach is to fusing disparate data sets together. Well, unlike some of our competitors, at Qbase our unique approach to data fusion is based completely on runtime matching and linking, which means there is no need for linking of any data in advance. What our technicians have done instead is index the data based on “loose keys.” The resulting queries bring back relatively large answer sets that are then scored, ranked, and rolled up into linked collections. There are a couple advantages to doing it this way. First, new data can be added to the system as soon as it’s available which can immediately participate in linked answer sets — there are no complicated linking processes to hinder data from being available as soon as possible. Second, run-time linking provides the ability to dial-in varying link strengths or to try different link algorithms without re-fabricating the entire data collection. Give us a call to discuss your challenges — we’ll convert them to successes.
