Example

(:
Assuming "/data/example.txt" contains

11208172	Nixon	Nixon	person:head of state
11208172	Nixon	Richard Nixon	person:head of state
11208172	Nixon	Richard M. Nixon	person:head of state
11208172	Nixon	Richard Milhous Nixon	person:head of state
11208172	Nixon	President Nixon	person:head of state:person
08932568	Paris	Paris	administrative district:national capital
09145751	Paris	Paris	administrative district:town
09500217	Paris	Paris	imaginary being:mythical being

The URI "/ontology/people" will contain an entity dictionary with 
four entities (11208172 with 5 alternative matching texts, and the three 
entities 08932568, 09145751, and 09500217 with the same matching text).
