16. A database stored in a computer readable storage medium, the database comprising: a plurality of divergent data stored in a data structure on the computer readable storage medium, wherein the plurality of divergent data includes a plurality of cohort data, wherein each datum of the database is conformed to the dimensions of the database, wherein each datum of the plurality of data has an associated metadata and an associated key, wherein the associated metadata comprises 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; computer program code for importing additional data into the plurality of data, wherein the additional data initially is not associated with metadata and the additional data does not conform to the dimensions of the database; computer program code for conforming the additional data to the dimensions of the database; computer program code for associating metadata and a key with each datum of the additional data; computer usable program code for establishing a fact relating to drug, received in a query relating to the drug, as a frame of reference for the query; computer program code for determining an I th set of rules using a J th set of rules, wherein the J th set of rules, wherein J=1 is the first iteration of a recursion process and I-1 is the J th iteration of the recursion process, wherein the I th set of rules is a first set of rules, and wherein the J th set of rules is a second set of rules; computer program code for applying the first set of rules to the query, wherein the first set of rules are determined for the query according to the second set of rules, wherein the frame of reference serves as an anchor for generating associations among the plurality of cohort data and is used to determine rules for limiting the plurality of divergent data that is searched, wherein the first set of rules determine how the plurality of divergent data are to be compared to the fact, and wherein the first set of rules determine a search space for the query; computer program code for executing the query to create the first inference and a probability of a first inference, wherein the probability of the first inference is determined from comparing the plurality of data according to the first set of rules, wherein the probability of the first inference is based on factors selected from the group consisting of: a timing of the plurality of data according to the first set of rules, a source of the plurality of data according to the first set of rules, a trustworthiness of the plurality of data according to the first set of rules, a relevance of the plurality of data according to the first set of rules the plurality of data according to the first set of rules, a reliability of the plurality of data according to the first set of rules, an importance of the plurality of data according to the first set of rules, a data integrity of the plurality of data according to the first set of rules, and cohort information of the plurality of data according to the first set of rules, wherein a combination of the factors has a synergistic effect on the probability of the first inference; and computer program code for storing the probability of the first inference, wherein subsequently viewing the first inference is accessible to individuals having one of a set of different security access clearances based on the probability of the first inference having a higher or lower threshold of certainty probabilities of inferences when the inference implicates medical privacy laws, wherein first ones the individuals having a first one of the set of different security access clearances are permitted to viewing the first inference, and, wherein second ones the individuals having a second one of the set of different security access clearances are not permitted to viewing the first inference.
19. The database of claim 16 , wherein the computer program code for applying the first set of rules to the query further comprises: computer program code for applying the first set of rules to the query, wherein the first set of rules are determined for the query according to the second set of rules, wherein the frame of reference serves as an anchor for generating associations among the plurality of cohort data and is used to determine rules for limiting the plurality of divergent data that is searched, wherein the first set of rules determine how the plurality of divergent data are to be compared to the fact, and wherein the first set of rules determine a search space for the query.
