There has recently been a flurry of activity surrounding keyword search in structured databases, beginning with the BANKS project, and leading up to my own work on Schema-Free XQuery. The idea in this line of work has been to find a small "local" part of the database that can match all the specified query terms.

This paper addresses the complement of this problem. Given a document, and a set of structured entities in a database, how does one match up entities against sets of co-located words in the document. The issues and challenges are similar to those in the stream of work mentioned above, but the problem setting is new and interesting.
