Jump to: navigation, search

Objective

  • The objective of this activity is to provide an API for the semantic post-processing services of search results that were developed in the context of T10.4.

Requirements

  • The API should allow someone to build an application (web application, mobile application) that exploits the services of T10.4 (and their deployment in the infrastructure).
  • The functionality of 10.4 is generic, i.e. one can configure the underlying search system, the desired categories, the SPARQL endpoints to be used. It is desirable to offer this generality also at the API level.

Decisions

  • We plan to develop a REST API since such an API could be used easily in various contexts.
  • We will comply with OpenSearch because it is a standard and can allow configuring the underlying search system to use.

Services

Main Service A: Post-processing of search results

This service is responsible for the post-proccessing of the search results by performing textual clustering, entity mining or both in the top search results as returned by the given search system. The API accepts (as input parameters) an underlying search system and a set of parameters (e.g. query, number of results to analyze, etc.). The underlying source can be an opensearch compliant search engine. XSearch is then responsible for sending the query (with the given parameters) to the search engine and retrieve the results. Additional parameters related to the tasks of entity mining and textual clustering will be provided to the API.

Input Parameters:

  • searchsystem: The name of a supported search system (see Supported Service S2) - Required. Valid values: {opensearch, gcube, ecoscope}.
  • query: The query string - Required in case searchsystem != gcube
  • descrdoc: The URL of an OpenSearch Description Document - Required in case searchsystem=opensearch
  • locator: The gCube ResultSet locator - Required in case searchsystem=gcube
  • numofresults: Number of results to analyze (integer). Default: 100
  • mining: Enable or not Entity Mining. Valid values: {true, false}. Default: true
  • categories: Active categories of entities (semicolon-separated names of categories) (see Supported Service S1). Default: X-Search's current active categories.
  • clustering: Enable or not Textual Clustering. Valid values: {true, false}. Default: true
  • numofclusters: Number of clusters to return (integer). Default: 15
  • clusteringalg: ID of clustering algorithm (see Supported Service S2). Valid values: {cl1, cl2, cl3, cl4, cl5}. Default: cl3
  • typeofresults: Type of results to analyze. Valid values: {snippets, contents}. Default: snippets
  • format: The output format. Valid values: {json, xml}. Default: json

Output:

  • Detected Entities (and for each entity, the results in which it lies)
  • Produced Clusters (and for each cluster, the results in which it lies)
  • Results
  • The input parameters
  • Date of request

Examples:

REST call:

Main Service C: Enrich an identified entity

This services enriches an entity with semantic information. For example, for the entity "yellowfin tuna" (that has been linked the resource "http://dbpedia.org/resource/Yellowfin_tuna"), the service can return its incoming and outcoming properties.

Input Parameters:

  • uri - The URI of the entity (url) - required
  • type - Type of properties to retrieve (incoming|outcoming|both) - required
  • category - The category of the entity (string). If no value is given, the parameter endpoint must be specified.
  • endpoint - The SPARQL endpoint to use (url). If no value is given, the parameter category must be specified. In this case, the endpoint that has been configured in X-Search for the given category name is considered.
  • lang - The language code for retrieving literals (string)

Output:

  • A list of RDF triples

Example:

Consider that for the category "Species", the specified SPARQL endpoint is: http://virtuoso.i-marine.d4science.org:8890/sparql

REST call:

  • categories: Active categories of entities (semicolon-separated names of categories) (see Supported Service S1). If no value is given, then X-Search's current active categories are considered.

Output:

  • A list with the detected entities together with their corresponding category

Example:

REST call:

http://.../xsearch-service-2.0.0/api/processdocument?url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellowfin_tuna&categories=Species;Country

Part of the CSV result:

"ENTITY_NAME"	"CATEGORY_NAME"

striped marlin	Species
Pacific bluefin tuna	Species
Albacore	Species
Bigeye tuna	Species
Mexico	Country
Panama	Country
