Tan, Min-Yen Kan and Dongwon Lee: Search Engine Driven Author Disambiguation
ACM/IEEE
Joint Conference on Digital Libraries 2006
Motivation @ DBLP
The second example
is about my advisor, Dr. Dongwon Lee’s publications in DBLP.
Because “Dongwon
Lee” is one of common names, there are another author with the same name in
digital libraries. In addition, DBLP does not have any unique identifier
corresponding to each author name. Therefore, the citations by another
scholar with the same name spelling can be merged into a single collection.

In fact, citation 22
and citation 24 really belong to another “Dongwon Lee” at University of
Minnesota.
