Hi all,
As lengthily explained in the attached mail the Fusepool project[1]
has defined an Annotation Model based on Open Annotation [3][4] and
NIF 2.0 [5][6]. This model is called FAM (Fusepool Annotation Model
[16]).
This mail present the FISE to FAM transformation engine [17] provided
by Fusepool. This engine support the transformation of FISE
enhancements to Open Annotation based annotations as defined by the
Fusepool Annotation Model [16].
### Supported FISE enhancement types
The engine supports the following FISE enhancement types:
1. fise:TextAnnotation used to annotate the language of the Content.
Those are transformed to fam:ContentLanguage [8] annotations
2. fise:TextAnnotation used to annotate named entities. Those are
transformed to fam:EntityMention [9]
3. fise:EntityAnnotation used to suggest entities for mentions in the
text. Those are transformed to fam:EntitySuggestion [12]
4. fise:EntityAnnotation without a relation to an fise:TextAnnotation
are transformed to fam:EntityAnnotation [10]
5. fise:TopicAnnotation are transformed to fam:TopicAnnotation [13]:
Only Sentiment annotations are not (yet) supported by the engine as
the FAM currently does not define a fitting annotation body.
NOTES:
* transformed fise:Enhancements are deleted from the enhancement metadata
* unsupported fise:Enhancements are kept unchanged
* information of dereferenced entities are also not toughed
### Installation
To use the engine one needs to install
<dependency>
<groupId>eu.fusepool.p3.stanbol-engines-fise2fam</groupId>
<artifactId>stanbol-engines-fise2fam</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>
to the OSGI environment running Stanbol (e.g. by adding it to a
bundlelist of a custom launcher or copying the jar to the fileinstall
folder or by manually adding it via the bundle tap of the Felix
Webconsole).
The engine is available on Maven Central [18].
The engine woks with the 0.12.0 release, the 0.12.1-SNAPSHOT as well
as the 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT versions of Stanbol.
After installing the bundle a default configuration of the Engine with
the name `fise2fam` will be available.
### License
The engine is provided under Apache Software License 2.0
### Configuration
The Fise2FamEngine provides two configuration parameters
* Selector type (enhancer.engine.fise2fam.selectortype.name): This
allows to configure the type of selectors. Supported are NIF 2.0 and
Open Annotation. Also a compatibility mode where properties of both
are written in supported (default: NIF).
* NIF: will activate NIF 2.0 type selectors
* OA : will activate Open Annotation Text Position Selector and
Text Quote Selector.
* BOTH: compatibility mode that will write both NIF and OA
selector information
* Write Metadata (enhancer.engine.fise2fam.metadata.name): This switch
allows to enable/disable the serialization of the metadata. If
disabled no oa:Annotation and oa:SpecificResource will get serialized.
Deactivating this option will make the resulting RDF to no longer
confirm to the Open Annotation standard. However it will also reduce
the triple count by > 50% (default: enabled)
The engine allows for multiple service instances with different
configurations. Just make sure that those do use different names. The
default instance does use the name `fise2fam`.
### Usage
To use the Fise2FamEngine just add the name of the engine (by default
`fise2fam` to your chain. As the Fise2FamEngine is a post-processing
engine it expects to be executed last.
When used in a WeightedChain this will happen automatically based on
metadata provided by the engine. Users that configure a ListChain will
need to ensure to add the `fise2fam` engine at the end of the list.
Happy testing
