Is it possible to enter free-form input programmatically, i.e. not manually?

I have a list of data including say “Battle of the Milvian Bridge”. I want to convert this to an entity but I don’t know what the exact entity description is. In fact, it is “BattleOfTheMilvianBridge”, so in this case it’s just a case of stripping out spaces, but in general, the Wolfram name might be somewhat different from my name, not just a case of omitting spaces. If I use ctrl-equals and manually type in the name, Mathematica finds the best match in its knowledge base. How can I apply ctrl-equals automatically to my list of data so that I don’t have to type in each element one by one to get the correct Mathematica representation? I want something like

Hi Marc,

Not sure exactly what you mean by “free-form input”. Maybe

This question is too vague. Give more information on what you want.

Thank you very much. SemanticInterpretation is what I was looking for.

In my original post, I had an explanation of my problem, and now it seems to be completely blank. At least, I don’t see any body to the post. I don’t know what happened to it. Apologies for that.

Edited to add: If I Edit the original post, I see the text that was supposed to be there in the body. Not sure why it isn’t appearing in the published post.

try this method, maybe this method is right:-
1> Get a free-form input box
2>Enter natural language input
2>Choose the interpretation
