Abstract

The invention provides for a system to correlate data including a feed data set, a correlated data set, and a correlator that links entries in the feed data set with entries in the correlated data set.

Claims

1. A system to correlate data, comprising:

a feed data set;

a correlated data set; and

a correlator that links entries in the feed data set with entries in the correlated data set.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the entries are linked due to the same geographical locations of the entries.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the geographical locations include longitude and latitude.

4. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

an entry; and

a duplication detector that detects duplicates in the entry data set and removes the duplicates to create the feed data set without the duplicates.

5. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

a search data set; and

a duplication detector that detects duplicates in the correlated data set after the entries are linked and removes the duplicates to create the search data set without the duplicates.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the feed data is imported into the correlated data set.

7. A method of correlating data, comprising:

receiving a feed data set;

receiving a correlated data set; and

linking entries of the feed data set with entries in the correlated data set.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the entries are linked clue to the same geographical locations of the entries.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the geographical locations include longitude and latitude.

10. The method of claim 7, further comprising:

detecting duplicates in the entry data set and removing the duplicates to create the feed data set without the duplicates.

11. The method of claim 7, further comprising:

detecting duplicates in the correlated data set after the entries are linked and removing the entries to create a search data set.

12. The method of claim 7, wherein the feed data is imported into the correlated data set.

13. A computer-readable medium, having stored thereon a set of instructions which, when executed by at least one processor of at least one computer, executes a method for correlating data comprising:

receiving a feed data set;

receiving a correlated data set; and

linking entries of the feed data set with entries in the correlated data set.
