Method and system for providing enhanced matching from customer driven queries

1. A system for providing enhanced matching for database queries, the system comprising:

a data source;

a first database having a first multi-sourced reference file, wherein the first multi-sourced reference file has been verified by a plurality of sources and is identified by a first unique business identification number corresponding to a business entity;

a second database having a first single-sourced reference file that has not been verified by a plurality of sources;

a processor; and

a memory that contains programs that cause said processor to perform an action of an intelligence engine that:

processes data from said data source;

executes a first matching operation on said first multi-sourced reference file, wherein said intelligence engine determines whether said data matches said first multi-sourced reference file, and wherein said intelligence engine adds said data to said first multi-sourced reference file when said data matches said first multi-sourced reference file;

executes a second matching operation on said first single-sourced reference file, when said first matching operation determines that said data does not match said first multi-sourced reference file, wherein said intelligence engine determines whether said data matches said first single-sourced reference file;

determines whether said data qualifies as a verifying data source when said data does not match said first multi-sourced reference file and does match said first single-sourced reference file;

creates a second multi-sourced reference file by adding said data to said first single-sourced reference file, and moves said second multi-sourced reference file from said second database to said first database when said intelligence engine determines that said data qualifies as said verifying data source; and

creates a second single-sourced reference file using said data when said intelligence engine determines that said data does not qualify as a verifying data source.

2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a quality checker residing in said intelligence engine, said quality checker checking the quality of said data before said intelligence engine creates said second single-sourced reference file;

a business identifier assigner residing in said intelligence engine, said business identifier assigner assigning a second unique business identification number to said data when said quality checker determines that said data meets predetermined quality criteria; and

a reject file, said reject file receiving said data when said quality checker determines that said data does not meet said predetermined quality criteria.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein said business identifier assigner reassigns said second unique business identification number to a third single-sourced reference file when said second single-sourced reference file has not been reclassified as a multi-source reference file after a predetermined length of time.

4. The system of claim 2 , further comprising a fabricator, said fabricator producing a business data report from said first single-sourced reference file and from said first multi-sourced reference file.

5. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a data cleaner residing in said intelligence engine, said data cleaner removing duplicate data from said first multi-sourced reference file and from said single-sourced reference file.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein said data source comprises a user-generated query.

7. A computer-readable medium storing instructions for causing a processor to perform actions of an intelligence engine that:

receives data from a data source;

executes a first matching operation on a first multi-sourced reference file in a first database, wherein said first multi-sourced reference file has been verified by a plurality of sources and is identified by a first unique business identification number corresponding to a business entity, wherein said intelligence engine determines whether said data matches said first multi-sourced reference file, and wherein said intelligence engine adds said data to said first multi-sourced reference file when said data matches said first multi-sourced reference file;

executes a second matching operation on a first single-sourced reference file in a second database when said first matching operation determines that said data does not match said first multi-sourced reference file, wherein said first single-sourced reference file has not been verified by a plurality of sources, and wherein said intelligence engine determines whether said data matches said first single-sourced reference file;

determines whether said data qualifies as a verifying data source when said data does not match said first multi-sourced reference file and does match said first single-sourced reference file;

creates a second multi-sourced reference file by adding said data to said first single-sourced reference file, and moves said second multi-sourced reference file from said second database to said first database when said intelligence engine determines that said data qualifies as said verifying data source; and

creates a second single-sourced reference file using said data when said intelligence engine determines that said data does not qualify as a verifying data source.

8. The computer-readable medium of claim 7 , further comprising:

instructions for checking a quality of said data based on predetermined quality criteria prior to creating said second single-sourced reference file;

instructions for, after creating a second single-sourced reference file, assigning a second unique business identification number to said second single-sourced reference file when said data meets said predetermined quality criteria; and

instructions for sending said data to a reject file when said data fails to meet said predetermined quality criteria.

9. The computer-readable medium of claim 8 , further comprising:

instructions for reassigning said second unique business identification number to a third single-sourced reference file when said second single-sourced reference file has not been reclassified as a multi-source reference file after a predetermined length of time.
