Published on: 13/06/2022 Last update: 17/06/2022

The Synonym finder v2 release is improved by:

  • Added support for EUROVOC. Previously Eurovoc was available only through the LusTRe framework. Now the EUROVOC SPARQL endpoint is directly accessible 
  • Added support for a local version of the DET Thesaurus.  The thesaurus must be loaded in a GraphDB repository with name DET, the SPARQL endpoint hardcoded in the tool is: http://localhost:7200/repositories/DET 
  • Added support for a local version of the Worldbank Thesaurus.  The thesaurus must be loaded in a GraphDB repository with name wb, the SPARQL endpoint hardcoded in the tool is: http://localhost:7200/repositories/wb 
  • Web agent information for Wikidata searches.  Web agent information is added to the header of requests to Wikidata, better complying with the access policy of wikidata. 
  • Search in table A search button is added. It looks for the word entered in the top left text field in the results table. This can for example be used to look if a word is already in the table before it is added using the ‘add word’ button. 
  • Max L dif. field A field ‘Max L dif.’ Is available. It gives a value for the maximum length difference when looking up terms. Default value is 5. This means the term searched for is rejected if it is more than 5 characters longer than the input term. E.g. with value set to 2, and search term is ‘car’, the word ‘cars’ will be considered a match, but the word ‘carport’ will not be retained.
