A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code
for inferring a probability of a first inference absent from a database
at which a query regarding the inference is received. Each datum of the
database is conformed to the dimensions of the database. Each datum of
the plurality of data has associated metadata and an associated key. The
associated metadata includes data regarding cohorts associated with the
corresponding datum, data regarding hierarchies associated with the
corresponding datum, data regarding a corresponding source of the datum,
and data regarding probabilities associated with integrity, reliability,
and importance of each associated datum. The query is used as a frame of
reference for the search. The database returns a probability of the
correctness of the first inference based on the query and on the data.
