Abstract

The invention includes systems and methods for administering a global information database. A system in accordance with various embodiments of the invention is a global information database system for administering customer inquiry requests for information. The system includes a grey data enrichment module adapted for searching a network for relevant information to a predefined query; generating an abstract containing a portion of relevant information located on the network; and storing a record including the abstract and location information of the relevant information in an associated data storage device. The system can also include a first-type module adapted for receiving an old-type inquiry request; cleansing the old-type inquiry request; and reformatting the old-type inquiry request into a new-type inquiry request. The system also includes a second-type module adapted for receiving a new-type inquiry request from either a customer or the first-type module; matching a name associated with the inquiry request to one or more records in the data storage device; generating a crunch file of initial potential matches to the inquiry request; filtering the initial potential matches to remove any false positives; analyzing the crunch file to remove any other false positives; and generating an alert to the customer if any positive matches exist.
