Abstract
When querying data providers on the web, one has no guarantee that they will reply within a given time. Some providers may even not answer at all. This makes it infeasible to wait for a complete result before beginning with the entity resolution. In order to solve this problem, we present a query-time entity resolution approach that takes the asynchronous nature of the replies from data providers into account by starting the entity resolution as soon as first results are returned. Resolved entities are propagated from the entity resolution engine to the mobile client as early as possible. Resolution results that are produced later are send as updates to the client and thus improve earlier results.
