Domain Settings

Domain Settings

This model element allows you to modify the characteristics of the domain. All Domain Settings are optional and take default values. Domain Settings provides the following options:

  • Languages: select one or more languages that you wish NLP to identify in the text data. If you check more than one language, automatic language identification is activated. This increases the processing required for texts. Therefore, you should not select multiple languages unless there is a real likelihood that texts in the selected language will be part of the data set. The default language is English.

  • Add Parameter: this button allows you to specify a domain parameter value. You can only add a domain parameter to an empty domain; this means that you must add all desired domain parameters before you Build the domain with Data Locations specified. Otherwise, the Compile to add, modify, or delete domain parameters fails with an error message; you can use the Delete button to drop domain contents to allow you to add, modify, or delete domain parameters.

    To add a parameter, specify the domain parameter name and the new value. Domain parameter names are case-sensitive. You can use either name form. For example, Name=SortField, Value=1 or Name=$$$IKPSORTFIELD, Value=1. No validation is performed. All unspecified domain parameters take their default values. To view the parameters that you have added, expand the Domain Settings heading.

  • Maximum Concept Length: the largest number of words that should be indexed as a concept. This option is provided to prevent a long sequence of words from being indexed as a concept. The default (0) uses the language-specific default for the maximum number of words. This default should be used unless there are compelling reasons to modify it.

  • Manage User Dictionary: this button displays a “Manage User Dictionary” box that allows you to specify one or more strings to the user dictionary. Each specified string either specifies a string that will rewrite to a new string, or specifies a string to which you assign an attribute label from a drop-down list.
