Funding of a PhD CIFRE-grant (Akila Ghersedine, started in May 2012). The objective of the collaboration is to propose automatic (or semi-automatic) technics for enriching authorities. An authority is a record that describes a named entity used in document metadata (e.g. a person, a domain…). The elaboration of a solution requires addressing different problems: extraction of knowledge from textual metadata, entity resolution which is the core problematic of the Akila Ghersedine's thesis subject, and authority fusion.
