CMU-EDL is a suite of software to link detected named entities, such as people, locations, geo-political entities, in text in different languages, onto known named entities in a knowledge base. For instance, "United States", "USA" and "United States of America" would be linked to the same knowledge base entry.
The development of this software has been sponsored by DARPA-funded project at CMU called AIRES under DARPA's LORELEI initiative.
