entity:enrich

entity:enrich(
   $node as node(),
   [$dictionaries as cts:entity-dictionary*],
   [$options as xs:string*],
   [$map as map:map]
) as node()

Summary

Returns the entity-enriched XML for the given XML node using the provided dictionary. If a text node that is being enriched has a parent element with a schema definition that does not allow element children, then that text node is not enriched. Entity markup is not added within other entities.

Usage Notes

Mapping can be done piecemeal. The type of an entity is split into segments, delimited by a colon, and then each segment is matched in turn against map until a match is found. If the value of a segment matches a mapping entry whose value is itself a map, then that submap is used to match subsequent segments of the type. If the submap contains no match, then the empty string is used to find a match within the submap.

The default map defines a set of default recommended entity names:

e:credit-card-number

A number representing a credit card number. (IDENTIFIER:CREDIT_CARD_NUM)

e:coordinate

Latitude and longitude coordinates. (IDENTIFIER:LATITUDE_LONGITUDE)

e:date

Date-related. (TEMPORAL:DATE)

e:distance

A distance. (IDENTIFIER:DISTANCE)

e:email

An email address. (IDENTIFIER:EMAIL)

e:gpe

A geo-political entity. Differs from location because it has a person-made aspect to it. For example, California is a GPE because its boundaries were defined by a government). (GPE)

e:facility

A place used as a facility. (FACILITY)

e:id

A number identifying a social security number or other ID number. (IDENTIFIER)

e:location

A geographic location (Mount Everest, for example). (LOCATION)

e:money

Currency, such as dollars, euros, and so on. (IDENTIFIER:MONEY)

e:nationality

The nationality of someone or something. For example, American. (NATIONALITY)

e:number

A number. (IDENTIFIER:NUMBER)

e:organization

An organization. (ORGANIZATION)

e:person

A person. (PERSON)

e:phone-number

A number identifying a telephone number. (IDENTIFIER:PHONE_NUMBER)

e:religion

A religion. (RELIGION)

e:title

A title or honorific. (TITLE)

e:url

e:utm

A point in the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system. (IDENTIFIER:UTM)

e:time

 : entity:dictionary-load example.

xquery version "1.0-ml";

import module namespace entity="http://marklogic.com/entity" 
    at "/MarkLogic/entity.xqy";

let $map :=
  map:new((
    map:entry("",xs:QName("entity:entity")),

    map:entry("land",xs:QName("entity:location")),
    map:entry("location",xs:QName("entity:location")),
    map:entry("organization",xs:QName("entity:organization")),

    ))
let $myxml := <node>Richard Nixon visited Paris.</node>
return
  entity:enrich($myxml, cts:entity-dictionary-get("/ontology/wordnet"), (), $map)

(: Returns the enriched node. For example:
 :
 : <node xmlns:entity="http://marklogic.com/entity">
 :   <entity:person>Richard Nixon</entity:person> visited <entity:gpe>Paris</entity:gpe>.
 : </node>
