:warning: This repository has been archived as now the inventaire server itself takes care of keeping Elasticsearch entities and wikidata indexes updated

Entities Search Engine

Scripts and microservice to feed an ElasticSearch with Wikidata and Inventaire entities (see entities map), and keep those up-to-date, to answer questions like "give me all the humans with a name starting by xxx" in a super snappy way, typically for the needs of an autocomplete field.

For the Wikidata-only version see the archived branch #wikidata-subset-search-engine branch.

Setup

see setup

Dependencies

see setup to install dependencies:

• NodeJs >= v6.4
• ElasticSearch (this repo was developed targeting ElasticSearch v2.4, but it should work with newer version with some minimal changes)
• Nginx
• Let's Encrypt
• already installed in any good nix system: curl, gzip

Start server

see Wikidata and Inventaire per-entity import

Data imports

from scratch

add

Wikidata entities

3 ways to import Wikidata entities data into your ElasticSearch instance

• Filtered-dump import
• Batch import using SPARQL queries results
• Per-entity import

Inventaire entities

• Batch import using CouchDB views
• Per-entity import

update

To update any entity, simply re-add it, typically by posting its URI (ex: 'wd:Q180736' for a Wikidata entity, or 'inv:9cf5fbb9affab552cd4fb77712970141' for an Inventaire one) to the server

remove

To un-index entities that were mistakenly added, pass the path of a results json file, supposedly made of an array of ids. All those ids' documents will be deleted

index=wikidata
type=humans
ids_json_array=./queries/results/mistakenly_added_wikidata_humans_ids.json
npm run delete-from-results $index $type $ids_json_array

index=entities-prod
type=works
ids_json_array=./queries/results/mistakenly_added_inventaire_works_ids.json
npm run delete-from-results $index $type $ids_json_array

importing dumps

You can import dumps from inventaire.io prod elasticsearch instance:

# Download Wikidata dump
wget -c https://dumps.inventaire.io/wd/elasticsearch/wikidata_data.json.gz
gzip -d wikidata_data.json.gz
# elasticdump should have been installed when running `npm install`
# --limit: increasing batches size
./node_modules/.bin/elasticdump --input=./wikidata_data.json --output=http://localhost:9200/wikidata --limit 2000

# Same for Inventaire
wget -c https://dumps.inventaire.io/inv/elasticsearch/entities_data.json.gz
gzip -d entities_data.json.gz
./node_modules/.bin/elasticdump --input=./entities_data.json --output=http://localhost:9200/entities --limit 2000

Query ElasticSearch

curl "http://localhost:9200/wikidata/humans/_search?q=Victor%20Hugo"
