Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for resolving entities based on relationships to a common entity. In one embodiment, two entities are compared to determine that an entity resolution threshold is not satisfied. One or more entities commonly related to the two entities are determined. The two entities are determined to satisfy the entity resolution threshold on the basis of the one or more commonly-related entities. The two entities are then resolved into a single entity.
