1. A method for detecting and queuing data stewardship tasks to reduce data record duplication and incorrection, the method comprising:
receiving, at a private database, a received data record comprising a set of received identity data record attributes representing an identity of a subject;
sending, by the private database, the received data record identity information to a reference data system to verify the identity of the subject, wherein the reference data system includes a reference database which contains a plurality of identity data records that only contain identity attributes that are used for resolving and verifying identities of unknown data records that are external to the reference data system;
receiving, from the reference database, a return message including a set of combined identity data attributes representing a verified subject and comprising the set of received identity data attributes and one or more reference identity data attributes representing a selected reference subject, wherein the return message verifies the identity of the subject to the private database and establishes to the private database that the subject, the selected reference subject, and the verified subject are all the same subject;
comparing one or more of the set of combined identity data attributes to a plurality of saved private data records in the private database, wherein each saved private data record comprises one or more saved private identity data attributes;
on a condition that the received data record is a near match to one or more of the plurality of saved private data records in the private database, creating a data stewardship task record that contains one or more of the set of combined identity data attributes and the one or more saved private identity data attributes of each of the plurality of saved private data records that are near matches to the received data record;
displaying a data stewardship task on a display in the event that the data stewardship task was created using either the private database or the reference database, wherein the displayed data stewardship task indicates a match quality for each of one or more of the set of received identity data attributes and the saved private identity data attributes; and
receiving a first user input indicating one of a linking action or an unlinking action and which results in at least one of a prevention of duplication of data and a correction of incorrect or duplicated data.
