Digital textNamed Entities

Hovering over a named entity highlights the areas where it appears in the text.

Initially, named entities are linked to keyword searches at the appropriate name authorities and metadata services. Here we see a number of possible candidates for “Henry V”.

When editing an entity, the user can disambiguate it by linking it to a specific record from a naming authority. Here, the user is specifying that this instance of “Henry V” refers to “Henry V King of England ”.

Now that it has been disambiguated, the named entity links directly to the appropriate record.
