Method evidence record

Entity Linking

Entity linking is a natural-language-processing task that matches ambiguous entity mentions in text — people, places, organisations — to the correct record in a knowledge base such as Wikidata, DBpedia, or a domain dictionary. Surveyed and shaped by Milne and Witten (2008) and later neural approaches reviewed by Sevgili and colleagues (2022), it grounds free text into structured, unambiguous references used in knowledge-graph building and multi-source text analysis.
