1. An apparatus comprising:
- a processing node comprising a processor and a data reception module to receive an identification of at least two records that match; and
an analysis module to communicatively couple to the data reception module, the analysis module todetermine a mutagen that, when applied to a first one of the at least two records based on element transformation, enables identification of common characteristics of the at least two records, wherein the analysis module is configured to determine the mutagen by;
transforming elements of the first one of the at least two records, based on the mutagen; and
determining a correspondence between the transformed elements and elements of a second one of the at least two records, andapply the determined mutagen to one or more records in a first source of data to locate a set of potential matching records in the first source of data and a second source of data.

Abstract
Apparatus, systems, and methods may operate to receive a first identification of two or more records that match and to search at least two sources of data to locate a set of potential matching records, based on element transformation to determine common characteristics of the two or more records. Further activities may include publishing the set of potential matching records, receiving a second identification of matching members of the set, and searching at least one repository to locate further matching records based on the second identification and the common characteristics. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.

4. A system, comprising:
-
a first processing node comprising a processor and a data reception module to receive an identification of at least two records that match; and a second processing node comprising an analysis module to communicate with the data reception module, the analysis module to determine a mutagen that, when applied to a first one of the at least two records based on element transformation, enables identification of common characteristics of the at least two records, wherein the mutagen is determined by; transforming elements of the first one of the at least two records, based on the mutagen; and determining a correspondence between the transformed elements and elements of a second one of the at least two records, and apply the determined mutagen to one or more records in a first source of data to locate a set of potential matching records in the first source of data and a second source of data. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6)

7. A method to execute on one or more processors that perform the method, comprising:
-
receiving an identification of at least two records that match; determining a mutagen that, when applied to a first one of the at least two records based on element transformation, enables identification of common characteristics of the at least two records, wherein the mutagen is determined by; transforming elements of the first one of the at least two records, based on the mutagen; and determining a correspondence between the transformed elements and elements of a second one of the at least two records; and applying the determined mutagen to one or more records in a first source of data to locate a set of potential matching records in the first source of data and a second source of data. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. An article comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing executable instructions stored thereon which, when executed, result in a processor performing:
-
receiving an identification of at least two records that match; determining a mutagen that, when applied to a first one of the at least two records based on element transformation, enables identification of common characteristics of the at least two records, wherein the mutagen is determined by; transforming elements of the first one of the at least two records, based on the mutagen; and determining a correspondence between the transformed elements and elements of a second one of the at least two records; and applying the determined mutagen to one or more records in a first source of data to locate a set of potential matching records in the first source of data and a second source of data. - View Dependent Claims (18)
