Dictionaries

What are dictionaries and why do you use them?

In the context of extraction,

dictionaries are user-defined

repositories of entities.

Dictionaries are used for

customized information

about the

entities your application must find.

Dictionaries can be

used to store name variations

in a

structured way that is accessible through the extraction process.

Dictionaries are

language-independent*

. This means that the

same entries are matched in documents of different languages.

Dictionaries are

more performant

than CGUL rules.

You can use

several dictionaries together

or combine several

entity categories in one dictionary.

* If its name is not prefixed with the name of a language (<language>-), in which case it will only work for that

language
