Return original entity names
Return original entity names
Posted on: Mon, 01/09/2012 - 19:58
Hi everybody,
Calais is magic but I am struggling a bit with the response. I chose the textsimple output format but I do not manage to get in the response the name of the entities as they appear in the original text.
For example I have "Iran" in my original text and Calais returns
Country: Islamic Republic of Iran
I desactivated the disambiguation but it is still the same (c:discardMetadata="er/Company;er/Geo;er/Product")
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks!
Mark

It would be awesome if there was an option in the Calais request that would allow to get original names (exactly as they appear in the text) only in the response in simple text format.
I know that they are in the RDF format some way after "exact".
Since text/simple is the simplest way we expose our response, it does not contain as much data compared to RDF and JSON output. Unfortunately, in the simple format we do not support this feature but in JSON and RDF response we do.
Sorry to disappoint.
