concept stores
The idea is to allow any REST / SPARQL API to be added to a Conzept system and render topics in the sidebar.
Features:
- Make adding a new datasource as easy as possible, but still flexible in terms of the rendered output.
- Make the API search results show up in the same style and results paging mechanics, as the other datasources.
- Let the topic results be augmented from Wikidata, if a Qid for the topic is provided.
- Have autocompletion work too (if wanted and possible).
- Allow the user to choose which datasources to use.
use cases
- Allow for adding extra “data sources” to a Conzept system, so other concepts - beyond Wikipedia and Wikidata - can also be presented.
- Any organization that wants to use the Conzept user-interface for showing and augmenting their own knowledge base.
status
- The datasources system is now working, with these remaining issues:
- Indicate when there are “no results found” for a search, or when a datasource is “unreachable” (causes a paging bug)
- Technical roadmap:
- Research how to further generalize the datasource integration, using the common result-format used on Conzept (based on the Wikipedia API result structure)
- Add hooks for pre- and post-processing of the API data.
- Add hooks to enrich the API data (with Wikipedia and Wikidata information)
- Test these ideas on real datasources.
- Allow for datasource activation via an URL parameter (so these searches can be linked to) and store these in a cookie.
