entity resolution

noun

1. The process of determining whether different records or mentions refer to the same real-world entity, despite variations in naming, formatting, or data source. Also called record linkage or deduplication.
2. A single satellite operator might appear as 'SpaceX,' 'Space Exploration Technologies Corp.,' 'SPACE EXPLORATION TECHNOLOGIES,' and 'SpaceX Services' across FCC, FAA, and ITU filings. Entity resolution maps these variations to a single canonical entity for consistent analysis.
