Patent attributes
A method for selective data ingestion into an exchange platform for verified credentials includes receiving credential data associated with first users (participants) in native file formats. For each participant, the received credential data is converted into a first participant credential set (PCS) according to a markup language format and having a source-independent data structure, and the first PCS is transformed into a second PCS having a data structure resolvable against a host template comprising a data set of minimum requirements. The second PCS for the respective participant is discarded if it fails to conform after being resolved against the host template, or otherwise cryptographically hashed and instantiated as a searchable object in an underlying persistence layer. A query is receiving from a second user (buyer), the query comprising search parameters, wherein each of the qualifying second PCS from the participants are further programmatically reviewed against the query.
