Entity Resolution

Entity Resolution is the process by which AI systems determine that different mentions, names, and data points refer to the same real-world company or entity. Poor entity resolution leads to fragmented or confused AI descriptions.

Definition

Entity Resolution links different references to the same entity: 'Stripe', 'Stripe, Inc.', 'stripe.com' → one company.
AI systems perform entity resolution to aggregate information from multiple sources.
Errors in entity resolution can cause AI to mix up companies with similar names.

How to help AI resolve your entity

Use consistent naming across all platforms and structured data.
Include sameAs links in JSON-LD pointing to Wikipedia, LinkedIn, Crunchbase.
Publish alternative names and abbreviations in your canonical profile.
Unique identifiers (DUNS, LEI, stock ticker) significantly improve resolution accuracy.
