bbw docs

bbw is a semantic annotator "boosted by wiki" for linking tabular data without metadata to a Wikibase instance (e.g., Wikidata) via contextual matching and meta-lookup (metasearch).

• Annotates tabular data with the entities, types and properties in Wikidata.
• Easy to use: bbw.annotate().
• Resolves even tricky spelling mistakes via meta-lookup through the SearX metasearch engine.
• Matches to the up-to-date values in Wikidata without the dump files.
• Ranked in third place at SemTab2020.

Installation

You can use pip to install bbw:

pip install bbw

The latest version can be installed directly from github:

pip install git+https://github.com/UB-Mannheim/bbw

Install also SearX, because bbw meta-lookups through it.

export PORT=80
docker pull searx/searx
docker run --rm -d -v ${PWD}/searx:/etc/searx -p $PORT:8080 -e BASE_URL=http://localhost:$PORT/ searx/searx

SearX is running on http://localhost:80. bbw sends GET requests to it.
