Abstract
A method for identifying data relationships comprising the steps of providing source data, reducing the data into canonical data, so that the canonical data is capable of being used in an inferential web that shows a user connections between at least two entities. Preferably, the inferential web is displayed to the user and may be stored on data storage medium. The method for identifying data relationship may be implemented by a computer.
