Data Enrichment Service   Version 1.0

Welcome to the OpenUp Data Enrichment Service

OpenUp Client

The OpenUp Client allows you to access DES functionality from any web page you are browsing. Simply drag the bookmarklet link below onto your toolbar and click on it when you want to know more! It's still experimental so there may be the odd glitch!

Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS)

The client makes use of CORS, allowing data to be posted to the DES. Currently Firefox, Chrome and Safari work well for this and the client should work happily in those browsers. Unfortunately IE causes problems so we're not supporting that at the moment

The DES is infrastructure for hosting information extraction processes. A core extraction pipeline is available that provides basic annotations that many processes will need. This can be used to bootstrap a more domain-specific extraction process. DES uses GATE underneath and any GATE application can potentially be run on DES.

This site allows you to try out the core DES extraction process. Feel free to have a play ...

For developers more information be found in the Developer Zone.

Latest Changes

20 February 2012

  • We've rolled out a major update to the infrastructure of the service. This will improve resilience.
  • We have also now added queuing functionality so that rather than waiting for an immediate response from the DES a document can be queued and retrieved when the client system is ready. This can be especially useful for large or complex documents which may time a long time to process.
  • We have also improved the API in conjunction with queuing and pipeline acces is now more intuitive.
  • Additionally we have merged the two endpoints enriched and enriched-text into a single enriched endpoint. The existing enriched-text will still be supported but going forward enriched should be used.
