Abstract
Today, the importance of entities has been broadly recognized and entities have become first-class citizens in many information access systems, including web, mobile, and enterprise search; question answering; and personal digital assistants. Entities have also become a meeting point for several research communities, including that of information retrieval, natural language processing, databases, and the Semantic Web. This final chapter concludes the book by summarizing progress, discussing limitations of current approaches, and pointing out potential future research directions.
