1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: receiving, by a processor, a table containing a plurality of entries, each entry storing plain text; receiving, by the processor, an entity database containing an entity collection, the entity collection including a plurality of entity tags that belong to a category, wherein an entity tag from the plurality of entity tags is linked with metadata information from an open access database; determining, by the processor, that a set of entries from the plurality of entries belong to the category; matching, by the processor, an entry in the set of entries to the entity tag; linking, by the processor, the entity tag to the entry; searching, by the processor, an available resource other than the open access database to link additional data related to the entry according to the entity tag; selecting the additional data from a canvas overlying the available resource; and enriching, by the processor, the table to include the additional data in a new column.
