For Japanese text, the substitution dictionary only contains one tab to manage your synonyms, the Synonym tab. Synonyms associate two or more words that have the same meaning. You can also use synonyms to group terms with their abbreviations or to group commonly misspelled words with the correct spelling.
A synonym definition is made up of two parts. The target term is the term under which you want the extraction engine to group all synonym terms. Unless this target term is used as a synonym of another target term or it is excluded, it is likely to become the concept that appears in the Extraction Results pane. The list of synonyms are the terms that will be grouped under the target term.
On the Synonyms tab, you can enter a synonym definition in the empty line at the top of the table. Begin by defining the target term and its synonyms. You can also select the library in which you would like to store this definition. During extraction, all occurrences of the synonyms will be grouped under the target term in the final extraction. See the topic Adding Terms for more information.
When you are building your type dictionaries, you may enter a term and also have three or four synonyms in mind for that term. In that case, you could enter all of the terms and then your target term into the substitution dictionary and then drag the synonyms.
Important! Wildcards and special characters are not supported for Japanese text synonyms.
In the empty line at the top of the table in Synonym
tab of the Substitution pane, enter your target term in the Target
column. The target term you entered appears in color. This color represents
the type in which the term appears or is forced, if that is the case.
If the term appears in black, this means that it does not appear in
any type dictionaries.
Click in the second cell to the right of the target
and enter the set of synonyms. Separate each entry using the global
delimiter as defined in the Options dialog box. All synonyms entered
should be from the same type. See the topic Setting Options for more information. The
terms that you enter appear in color. This color represents the type
in which the term appears. If the term appears in black, this means
that it does not appear in any type dictionaries.
In the third column, the Type column, designate a type
for these synonyms. The target, however, takes the type assigned during
extraction. However, if the target was not extracted as a concept,
then the type listed in this column is assigned to the target in the
extraction results.
Click in the last cell to select the library in which
you want to store this synonym definition.
Note: These instructions show you how to make changes within the Resource Editor view. Keep in mind that you can also do this kind of fine-tuning directly from the Extraction Results pane or Data pane. See the topic Refining Extraction Results for more information.
