The world is dynamic and ever changing. Databases that are current at one moment can quickly be out of date a minute later. Many times, database updates and accuracy of the data is secondary. How do we continuously update these databases and associate/fuse new and diverse pieces of data without modifying the database schema? In this paper, we will explore updating a database that contains information on various pieces of equipment worldwide and extending its source and contents by including the association of multi-source documents.
