What is Entity Resolution?

Entity Resolution, often shortened to ER, is the process of determining when real-world entities are the same, based on their metadata, relationships and/or behavior, across diverse data sources. Its close cousin, Entity Disambiguation, or ED, focuses on differentiating seemingly similar entities to achieve accurate identification. Imagine ER as a detective, meticulously connecting the dots across data silos, while disambiguation acts as the discerning lawyer, ensuring the right entities are brought to justice (or rather, merged).
