  The evolution of named entities affects exploration and retrieval tasks in
digital libraries. An information retrieval system that is aware of name
changes can actively support users in finding former occurrences of evolved
entities. However, current structured knowledge bases, such as DBpedia or
Freebase, do not provide enough information about evolutions, even though the
data is available on their resources, like Wikipedia. Our \emph{Evolution Base}
prototype will demonstrate how excerpts describing name evolutions can be
identified on these websites with a promising precision. The descriptions are
classified by means of models that we trained based on a recent analysis of
named entity evolutions on Wikipedia.
