摘要：Method and apparatus for creating an electronic database of disambiguated

entity mentions and relations from a corpus of electronic documents. The inventionautomatically extracts from the corpus of electronic documents mentions about entities(e.g., references to people, organizations or places), parses the entity mentions into“mention objects,” and executes a series of grouping, comparison and hierarchical fuzzyobject clustering algorithms to cluster together in an electronic database all of themention objects referring to the same entity and all of the mention objects (e.g.

“people”) associated with each other by a relationship (e.g., “co-authors” or “familymembers”). The resulting electronic database of disambiguated entity mentions andrelations, which may comprise, for example, an XML document, a relational database orhierarchical database, is structured to permit useful recordation, access, review anddisplay of all of the mentions and relations associated with a particular entity orcollection of entities.
