    • We demonstrated the effectiveness of our approach through evaluations against a manually disambiguated document set containing over 700 entities. This evaluation was performed over DBWorld announcements using an ontology created from DBLP (consisting of over one million entities). The results of this evaluation lead us to claim that our method has successfully demonstrated its applicability to scenarios involving real-world data. To the best of our knowledge, this work is among the first which successfully uses a large, populated ontology for identifying entities in text without relying on the structure of the text.
