N2  - We tackle the problem of disambiguating entities on the Web. We propose a user-driven scheme where graphs of entities ? represented by globally identi?able declarative artifacts ? self-organize in a dynamic and probabilistic manner. Our solution has the following two desirable properties: i) it lets end-users freely de?ne associations between arbitrary entities and ii) it probabilistically infers entity relationships based on uncertain links using constraintsatisfaction mechanisms. We outline the interface between our scheme and the current data Web, and show how higher-layer applications can take advantage of our approach to enhance search and update of information relating to online entities. We describe a decentralized infrastructure supporting ef?cient and scalable entity disambiguation and demonstrate the practicability of our approach in a deployment over several hundreds of machines.
