Hi all, I think you should start with a really simple solution for this and then > improve this first simple algorithm.
This was exactly the approach taken by the DBpedia Spotlight project. We have built a few entity linkers (a.k.a. disambiguators) based on Lucene first, and started incrementally making them more sophisticated. If you are a fan of not repeating work, please feel free to look at what we've done. http://spotlight.dbpedia.org Our disambiguators will be integrated as EnhancementEngines in Stanbol within the next couple of months. If you're a fan of reimplementing things to make them better, I'd say you should look elsewhere. There are some interesting approaches out there that have not been open sourced, but that have papers describing their algorithms. Implementing them would be probably more beneficial for the community than reimplementing what we did.
