Context
I am at the start of a project where I would like to map/match/link external product names to the respective internal product names. The goal should be to ingest related external information (e.g. stock number) of the external products into our system by joining the same products based on their product names. Short, the external product name should be matched to the internal representation of the product name.
Problem and Question
I'm now doing some research about potential solutions and I'm having difficulties finding out if the nature of the problem can be allocated to Entity Resolution or Entity Linkage or if it even includes both of them. I'm asking this because I'm afraid to go down the wrong path when researching for a potential way to tackle the problem. I have seen the post about key differences about entity linking and entity matching, but it's still hard for me to allocate the nature of my problem to one of them. Can please someone tell me if the problem can be allocated to Entity Resolution, Entity Linkage or both, and why this is the case?
Thanks a lot!
