• “Entity Resolution: The process of determining whether two or more references to real-world objects such as people (individuals), places, or  things are referring to the same object or to different objects. This concept is sometimes referred to as Entity Correlation, Entity Disambiguation, or Record Linkage, and includes related concepts such as Identity Resolution. (from draft DARA)
