Duplicate and Overlapping Knowledge Entities in Stand-Alone Learning Content

Stand-alone knowledge entities (e.g., Wikipedia articles, YouTube videos, StackExchange posts) are self-contained, so they often restate information also covered by other entities to give their subject context. This produces a spectrum of duplication: a weak form, where entities summarize or paraphrase overlapping content, and a stronger form, where content is duplicated in its entirety.
