Entity Search and Integration

Resource and Materials

Demo:
- @text+: https://tppssi-demo.saw-leipzig.de/
  - Enable Entity Search in settings
  - Switch to Advanced Search (Only supported there)
    - Trigger entity suggestions by typing @ in the query input field (uses lobid-API for GND entities IDs)
  - Switch to Results View, enable annotation layer view
    - Tokens or Spans may be underlined where Entities can be annotated, by hovering an info box will pop up that uses the GND to fetch meta information about an entity by using its ID

Motivation

Searching using an entity ID

cover alternative forms (spelling mistakes, historical forms)
synonyms, synsets
co-references/mentions: "he"/"she"/"they", "the person", ...
disambiguation (homonyms; same spelling but different person or different word usage based on context)

Questions

Which IDs to support
Entity ID resolution (due to different vocabularies)
- on endpoint or client (FCS Aggregator, search support) side
Idea: FCS client (FCS Aggregator) with keyword expansion using entity ID to generate list of word forms for native search
