COLLABORATING USING DIFFERENT OBJECT MODELS
Systems and methods are provided for collaborating with different object models. Data corresponding to one or more source objects is received. The source objects is stored in a first object model, and each of the source objects is associated with information describing an entity. Matches between the respective information associated with the one or more source objects and respective information associated with one or more target objects are determined based on a query. The target objects are stored in a second object model. The one or more source objects are ranked based at least in part on the matches. A list of the ranked source objects are provided through an interface, the interface indicating a number of matching target objects for each of the source objects.
1 . A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
a memory storing one or more databases and instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform:
retrieving a source object stored in a first object model and associated with an entity, the source object comprising an attribute, a file, an image, or a video;
conducting a search query based on an identity, the attribute, the file, the image, or the video of the source object and corresponding to a target object, the target object comprising a second attribute, a second file, a second image, or a second video;
identifying that an alias for the source object corresponds to the target object based on a match between respective attributes, files, images or videos of the target object and of the alias of the source object, wherein the alias for the source object comprises a common term with the source object and a second term absent from the source object; and
in response to identifying the alias, consolidating the alias for the source object and the source object to create a consolidated data object.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the system to perform:
providing an option to categorize the alias for the target object in a folder associated with the source object.
3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the system to perform:
merging a file, document, or link that is associated with the alias of the source object with the source object.
4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the file, document, or link comprises terms that match the alias of the source object.
5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the system to perform:
removing the target object and the source object and replacing the target object and the source object with the consolidated data object.
6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the system to perform:
providing an option to resolve the information associated with the target object with the information associated with the source object.
7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the search query is an alias search query comprising a portion of text associated with at least one of files, documents, or links associated with the target object.
8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the source object comprises a source person object and comprises the attribute, the file, the image, and the video.
9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the target object comprises a person object or a data object.
10 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the search query is based on identifying information associated with the source object.
11 . A method being implemented by a computing system including one or more physical processors and a storage media storing machine-readable instructions, the method comprising:
retrieving a source object stored in a first object model and associated with an entity, the source object comprising an attribute, a file, an image, or a video;
conducting a search query based on an identity, the attribute, the file, the image, or the video of the source object and corresponding to a target object, the target object comprising a second attribute, a second file, a second image, or a second video;
identifying that an alias for the source object corresponds to the target object based on a match between respective attributes, files, images or videos of the target object and of the alias of the source object, wherein the alias for the source object comprises a common term with the source object and a second term absent from the source object; and
in response to identifying the alias, consolidating the alias for the source object and the source object to create a consolidated data object.
12 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising providing an option to categorize the alias for the target object in a folder associated with the source object.
13 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising merging a file, document, or link that is associated with the alias of the source object with the source object.
14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the file, document, or link comprises terms that match the alias of the source object.
15 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising removing the target object and the source object and replacing the target object and the source object with the consolidated data object.
16 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising providing an option to resolve the information associated with the target object with the information associated with the source object.
17 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the search query is an alias search query comprising a portion of text associated with at least one of files, documents, or links associated with the target object.
18 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the source object comprises a source person object and comprises the attribute, the file, the image, and the video.
19 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the target object comprises a person object or a data object.
20 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the search query is based on identifying information associated with the source object.
