Considerable effort has been exerted to increase the scale of Linked Data. However, an inevitable problem arises when dealing with data integration from multiple sources. Various sources often provide conflicting objects for a certain predicate of the same real-world entity, thereby causing the so-called object conflict problem. At present, object conflict problem has not received sufficient attention in the Linked Data community. Thus, in this paper, we firstly formalize the object conflict resolution as computing the joint distribution of variables on a heterogeneous information network called the Source-Object Network, which successfully captures three correlations from objects and Linked Data sources. Then, we introduce a novel approach based on network effects called ObResolution (object resolution), to identify a true object from multiple conflicting objects. ObResolution adopts a pairwise Markov Random Field (pMRF) to model all evidence under a unified framework. Extensive experimental results on six real-world datasets show that our method achieves higher accuracy than existing approaches and it is robust and consistent in various domains.
