Charting extraction results

Sending entities to a chart

TextChart provides three options for sending entities to a chart. You can specify them individually, choose all entities of the same type, or simply send all the extracted entities at once.

Sending a single entity

To send a single entity from the Document View to a chart, you can use the pop-up menu for that entity in the Entities list on the left of the window, or the Send To Chart button from the entity details pane on the right of the window.

If an extracted entity is already on the chart, you can use the same pop-up menu to select it there.

Sending several entities

To send all the entities of the same type from the Document View to a chart, you can use the pop-up menu for that entity type in the Entities list. Alternatively, to send all the entities extracted from the document to the chart, you can click the Send All button at the top of the list.

Sending links to a chart

TextChart provides the same three options for sending extracted links to the chart as it does for sending entities, and you use them in the same way.

Viewing entities on the chart surface

You can hover over any entity on the Analyst's Notebook chart surface to display a window containing information about all the attributes that are associated with that entity.

After you've added an entity from TextChart to the chart, you can use it to start adding related entities from the other documents that you've processed. Right-click the entity, and select Rosoka Expand.

You can choose to add related entities of particular types, or groups of types; or you can use Select All to add all related entities in a single action.

When a chart contains multiple TextChart entities, you can perform the same Rosoka Expand operation on all of them by right-clicking the chart surface and choosing Select All first.

Viewing links on the chart surface

After you've added all the entities to the chart that you want to add, you can start to investigate the relationships between them, including the predicate types that were responsible for the links being identified in the first place.

For example, hovering over a connected entity reveals a list of the entities that it is linked to, in addition to its attributes.

Similarly, you can hover over a TextChart link to highlight the connection between two entities and display additional extraction information.

Listing source documents

For any TextChart entity or link on the the Analyst's Notebook chart surface, you can quickly refer back to the documents from which it was extracted.

To retrieve all the documents for a chart entity, right-click and select Show In Documents to reopen the Document View.

On the left of the view, the list of documents that contain the entity allows you to select which document appears on the right. Each document appears with text highlighting that reveals the entity in question.

Similarly, to retrieve all the documents for a chart link, you can use the same Show In Documents command.

Extracted links are then highlighted in the documents that contain them, in the same way as for extracted entities.
