In this case this will be
1. http://dbpedia.org/resource/Germany (confidence: 1704736.125) 2. http://dbpedia.org/resource/Nazi_Germany (confidence: 121766.984) 3. http://dbpedia.org/resource/West_Germany (confidence: 38052.215) (confidence values for the NamedEntityTaggingEngine are the Solr scores for the used query) I guess this is the reason why you are getting Nazi_Germany as an suggestion for a lot of pages. For Persons the problem is with cases where OpenNLP NER (Named Entity Recognition) marks a Person in the text, but only provides the given or family (e.g. "sean"). In this case the Entity linking will provide you with the most prominent person in DBpedia with that name - in your case "Sean Connery". This problem is also described by [STANBOL-320](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STANBOL-320). > This weird behaviour is not limited to this page.
