Martin thanks for your feedback, this workflow includes a thesaurus https://buildvoc.co.uk/bv/en/ and for NLP  https://github.com/NatLibFi/Annif which processes the abstract in eprints and returns the keywords.

Need to have the each keyword in a individual fields, so I can tell the indexer these fields are “phrase” with white space

Any ideas on script to create 10 fields for uncontrolled keywords?

Hi Phil,

in the final end, reverse indexes of standard search engines are single term based. This is a basic principle.

Xapian is pretty basic in this matter - more advanced search engines such as ElasticSearch offer field types such as "keyword" that allow to store multi-term _expression_ - in the end however, the Lucene backend also will store single terms in its reverse indexes.

Still, there is the difficulty how to identify a multi-term _expression_ within a bulk of text - this is usually the field of Natural Language Processing, and special tools and thesauri are needed.

Kind regards,

Martin

Betreff: Re: [EP-tech] Help indexing phrases


Hi Phil,

Unfortunately, I don't think this is possible.  I think you would need to create a new field that is an id multiple field and use this.  You could probably write a script to map from the uncontrolled keywords field into this new multiple id field.  However, even with this new field I am not sure how well Xapian would index these as individual multi-word terms.  Advanced search for this field should work as you require.  In 3.4.2 I introduced the Idci MetaField that is basically the same as the Id MetaField but that matches case-insensitively, this is useful for mathcing things like email addresses and usernames, where case does not usually make a functional difference.

I have been thinking how best to implement a keywords fields that is more effective across simple, advanced and faceted search, particularly for multi-word terms.  I have yet to conclude on a solution, as I need to better understand how Xapian indexing works to see if it can be setup to allow EPrints to effectively index multiple-word terms.

Regards

David Newman

Using uncontrolled keywords field which has phrases separated by commas, like to index the whole phrase.

For example :-
evacuation lift, part b - fire safety, b5 access and facilities for the fire
service, fire risk assessment, residual risk, building safety, b4 external
fire spread, means of escape, principal works, health & safety strategy
https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url="">

Question how do I configure xapian or indexing.pl to index the whole phrase instead of the individual terms for example fire, safety, or building

Best Regards,
