Subject: FAQ entry
We need an FAQ for "what is entity resolution" since I'm starting to get lots of email asking this question, and answering it in a non- technical way is tricky enough that I'd appreciate help. Here's my first cut at something of an explanation: Entity resolution is the process that an XML processor goes through when it has to find another file* in order to complete processing the file it's working on. The file could be labelled by name, public identifier, or system identifier. These identifiers can be mapped to a real existing file; the mapping is called an entity resolution catalog. * file is used here for simplicity; it could take any number of forms. Changes, including wholesale ones, are welcome as long as they don't get too technical. BTW, don't forget the phone call on Monday. I'll send out an agenda later; suggestions for it are welcome. cheers, Lauren
