1. A computer-implemented method of linking data objects associated with a common entity comprising: receiving, at a data center, healthcare data objects stored within one or more computing source systems operatively coupled to the data center; comparing the healthcare data objects to identify one or more of the healthcare data objects with common static information included within those healthcare data objects; designating the one or more identified healthcare data objects as candidate data objects associated with a corresponding common entity; analyzing, at a processor of the data center, supplemental temporal information included within the candidate data objects by identifying one or more patterns of changes in physical characteristics in the supplemental temporal information over a period of time; assigning a likelihood score to the candidate data objects that is determined by evaluating the one or more patterns with time-based rules that account for time-based expert medical knowledge; determining that the candidate data objects are associated with the corresponding common entity when the likelihood score confirms that the candidate data objects are associated with the common entity; linking one or more pairs of the candidate data objects that are confirmed to be associated with the common entity; and transforming the one or more linked pairs into a set of data objects accessible from a query for the common entity.
