1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving an identity record;
determining a plurality of entity resolution (ER) candidate-building keys for the received identity record;
generating a query from the plurality of ER candidate-building keys to retrieve entities matching any of the plurality of ER candidate-building keys, wherein each ER candidate-building key is derived from at least a field of the received identity record;
identifying, by operation of one or more computer processors, during execution of the query, a generic ER candidate-building key from the plurality of ER candidate-building keys, wherein the generic ER candidate-building key comprises an ER candidate-building key that is unsuitable for generating candidate entities for the identity record; and
upon identifying the generic ER candidate-building key, aborting executing the query.

Abstract
Systems, methods and articles of manufacture are disclosed for matching an inbound identity record to existing entities. Entity resolution (ER) candidate-building keys may be determined for a received identity record. A query may be generated from the ER candidate-building keys. When executing the query, a generic key may be identified. Execution of the query may be aborted upon a condition involving the generic key being satisfied.

17. A system, comprising:
-
one or more computer processors; a memory containing a program which, when executed by the one or more computer processors, is configured to perform an operation comprising; receiving an identity record; determining a plurality of entity resolution (ER) candidate-building keys for the received identity record; generating a query from the plurality of ER candidate-building keys to retrieve entities matching any of the plurality of ER candidate-building keys, wherein each ER candidate-building key is derived from at least a field of the received identity record; identifying, by operation of the one or more computer processors, during execution of the query, a generic ER candidate-building key from the plurality of ER candidate-building keys, wherein the generic ER candidate-building key comprises an ER candidate-building key that is unsuitable for generating candidate entities for the identity record; and upon identifying the generic ER candidate-building key, aborting executing the query. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
