text2doc

The Datanote feature extraction engine, as micro service

TODO

• support multiple formats:
  • datanote: a custom, low-level format supported by Datanote
  • json: basic list of entities
  • gexf: GEXF graph
  • csv: CSV graph (for Neo4J) https://neo4j.com/developer/guide-import-csv/

List of features

Formats

The API supports multiple output format to export entities and sometimes relationships between them.

GEXF

TODO

RDFa

Only basic (and custom) RDFa is supported, example:

<div xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" about="datanote">
    the <span property="entity:animal__monkey">Monkey</span> has <span property="entity:virus__ebolavirus">Ebolavirus</span>
</div>

Features

Custom fields

Optional url parameters:

• locale: en, fr (example: ?locale=en, &locale=fr..)
• fields: values to keep (example: fields=id,label, &fields=label,links,target..)
• domain: PoliceReport, see source for more (example: ?domain=PoliceReport..)
• types: bacteria, address, event, see source for more
• • format: graphson, gdf, gexf (example: ?format=gdf..)

Note: since domain cannot be used at the same time as types, types will have priority and domain will have no effect.

Domains and entity types

Current extraction model (you can change this, if your edit engine.js):

{
  PoliceReport: [
    'email',
    'phone',
    'location',
    'evidence',
    'event',
    'protagonist',
    'position',
    'weapon',
  ],
  generic: [
    'protagonist',
  ]
}

Usage

Examples use httpie with jq, but you can also use curl or something else.

The content-type is optional, it can help the app if there is an encoding issue with magic number.

Example with curl

curl -X POST "http://localhost:3000?locale=en&types=animal&format=gdf" -d "THE HIPPO KILLS THE DOLPHIN"
curl -X POST "http://localhost:3000?locale=en&types=protagonist,weapon&format=gdf" -d "James bond buys an ak-47"
curl -X POST "http://localhost:3000" --data-binary "@tests/fixtures/police_en.txt"
curl -X POST "https://file2doc.mutation.one?locale=en&types=protagonist,virus" -d "James Bond has caught the terrorist carrying H5N1"

Example with httpie and jq

https POST "https://file2doc.mutation.one?locale=en&types=virus" body="the monkey died of ebola" | jq
https POST "https://file2doc.mutation.one" body="James Bond" | jq
https POST "https://file2doc.mutation.one" body="James Bond" | jq
https POST "https://file2doc.mutation.one?&fields=label,links,link,target&locale=en" body="James Bond"  | jq
https POST "https://file2doc.mutation.one?locale=en" body="James Bond"  | jq
https POST "https://file2doc.mutation.one?&fields=label,links,link,target" body="James Bond"  | jq
https POST "https://file2doc.mutation.one?locale=en&types=protagonist,virus" body="James Bond has caught the terrorist carrying H5N1" | jq

Longer example

https POST "https://file2doc.mutation.one?fields=link,links,target,properties,ngram,begin,end,label,gender,number,firstname,lastname&locale=en" body="James Bond buys an AK-47"

Deployment

To start the service locally: npm run start. To deploy on Now: npm run deploy.

For the moment we have to manually edit the Dockerfile to add the NPM_TOKEN key (WARNING: do not commit the key). This is because there is a limitation on Now regarding the ARG directive (build-time env variables) in Docker, it is not working.
