Patent number: 10009297Abstract: A method, system, and/or computer program product displays related content on a user interface. An initial electronic document is analyzed to identify a mention in the initial electronic document. A mention descriptor of the mention in the initial electronic document is generated according to a context of the initial electronic document. The mention descriptor is mapped to a disambiguation identifier from a knowledge base that contains an entity related to the mention, where the disambiguation identifier identifies the entity within the knowledge base. The disambiguation identifier is associated with the initial electronic document, and is also associated with an entity metadata visualization panel. The disambiguation identifier is associated with the entity metadata visualization panel by mapping the entity metadata visualization panel to the disambiguation identifier.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2015Date of Patent: June 26, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Vittorio Castelli, Radu Florian, Avirup Sil
