Entity and Dataset reconciliation

Since the raise of Linked Data, one of the biggest problems of this kind of data (and all kinds of data in gerenal) is the duplication of information.

For this reason, some experts have tried to solve this problem using different techniques. I have taken a look into the following papers to get some ideas for one of the projects the group is involved right now and I think we could reuse them to achieve our goal in this project.
