JedAI: The Force Behind Entity Resolution

We present JedAI, a toolkit for Entity Resolution that can be used in three different ways: as an open-source Java library that implements numerous state-of-the-art, domain-independent methods, as a workbench that facilitates the evaluation of their relative performance and as a desktop application that offers out-of-the-box ER solutions. JedAI bridges the gap between the database and the Semantic Web communities, offering solutions that are applicable to both relational and RDF data. It also conveys a modular architecture that facilitates its extension with more methods and with more comprehensive workflows.
