Σύνοψη	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.	Information extraction (IE) is a natural-language-processing task that converts unstructured text into structured information — such as events, relations, and attributes — so that facts buried in free-form documents become machine-readable records. The task was consolidated in early surveys by Cowie and Lehnert (1996) and later by Grishman (2012).	Named entity recognition (NER) is a natural-language-processing task that automatically detects and labels entities in text — such as people, organisations, locations, and dates. Surveyed by Nadeau and Sekine (2007) and later advanced with neural architectures by Lample et al. (2016), it turns free-running text into tagged spans that downstream tools can use.
