I don't really view that as VAM, more like a default fallback mechanism.


<warning type="weak example"/> 

The VAM I want would to something like understand that a researcher can
query on birth date and disease and get back a randomized patient
identifier, but the same query will fail if it contains a geographic
identifier since the population of patients (for the given disease) is
so small that including both restrictions will allow the researcher to
uniquely identify the patient.
