14. An apparatus, comprising: a processor configured to be operatively coupled to a memory and configured to execute a determination module; and the determination module configured to be operatively coupled to (1) a first database that includes a first data object, the first data object including at least one of a first identifier type, a second identifier type, and a first characteristic type, (2) a second database that includes a second data object, the second data object including at least one of the second identifier type, a third identifier type, and a second characteristic type, and (3) a third database that includes a third data object, the third data object including at least one of the third identifier type, and a third characteristic type; the determination module configured to receive an indication of the selection of (1) the first database, the second database and the third database, and (2) a business rule, the business rule being a logical expression indicating a relationship between a first concept and a second concept, the first concept being a logical expression indicative of the presence of a selected value of the first characteristic type and the second concept being a logical expression indicative of the presence of a selected value of the second characteristic type; the determination module configured to, in response the indication of the selection, apply the business rule to the first database, the second database, and the third database; the determination module configure to send over a communications network, in response to (1) the first data object satisfying the first concept and (2) the second data object satisfying the second concept, to the first database, a report indicating a relationship between the first data object, the second data object and the third data object, the report configured for display on a graphical user interface, the report including at least one alert corresponding to an inconsistency when at least one inconsistency is identified by the determination module.
20. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the first concept is a logical expression indicative of the presence of any value of the first characteristic type as a text string in an unstructured data object or as data code stored in a structured data object.
