To create a new source click on the New Source button in the upper right hand corner of the page. The Infinit.e.Manager application will forward you to the Create New Source page shown below:
Testing a Source
Once a first draft of a source is complete it should be tested to see which documents it extracts and how it enriches the documents with additional metadata, entities, and associations, etc.
Two parameters can be set for testing the sources:
- "Full text": by default, the full text of a document is not returned (it can be quite long). For testing text extractors (eg "boilerpipe" vs "none" vs "AlchemyAPI"), or for testing "unstructured analysis" transformations, the text maybe useful or essential though; in these cases, enable this check box.
- "Number of documents": the maximum number of documents that will be enriched and returned. The smaller the number of documents, the quick the API calls returns.
Click on the Test Source button to start the testing process. Note that it can take a few minutes for the processed documents to be returned. Temporarily setting the "waitTimeOverride_ms" field of the "rss" object to be 1000 (ie 1s) can be useful during the debug stages.

Note that the first time you test a source, you are likely to get an error accompanied by a request from the browser to allow/deny the window from launching pop ups. Select "Allow always" or the equivalent, refresh the browser if necessary, and press the test button again. |
As can be seen from the above screen capture, the pop up contains 2 text elements:
- A status message including the number of documents returned, any errors or warnings encountered etc.
- The JSON of the extracted and enriched /wiki/spaces/INF/pages/3899780, if the test was successful.
- Future versions of the tool will allow the documents to be viewed in widgets in the main GUI, providing a much easier interface to validate the source.
Based off the results from testing, the source can then be refined until the desired functionality is obtained.
