Importing files in HTML format

[Emma G]

Hello all,

First of all, thank you for providing this tool. I would like to ask some questions about importing files in HTML format. I am currently working on an project which requires entity linking to WikiData. We want to provide the annotators with some suggestions for the annotations, provided by some automated entity linking tools. For this, I thought it would be nice to provide this as a tabular at the bottom of each document with a hyperlink to the Wikidata page, see example:

However, when importing HTML documents, it seems that both tabulars and hyperlinks are not supported, and the document shows in the following way:

So my questions are as follows:

1. Is it indeed the case that HTML elements like tabulars and hyperlinks are not supported?

2. When importing a file as HTML and opening it with the editor as HTML, I cannot tag entities. Should this be done in a different manner?

3. Would there maybe be a format which is more suitable to suggest a user with annotations for each file?

Let me know if my questions need extra information or screenshots for clarification.

Thank you in advance,

Emma Gerritse

P.S.  I saw in another thread here that you are currently working on a workload manager. If possible, do you have a status for that?

Hello,

thank you for using INCEpTION. I fear I have to say that the HTML support is really rudimentary. It is not very good and I would not use it. Can you share me one document and a file with suggestions you want to give? I want to try out whether our existing recommenders can be used for your use case; we support gazetteer recommendations (string recommender) as described in [1].

Best,

Jan

I hope that the first implementation of workload managing is done in 1-2 months.

Hello Jan,

Thank you for your reply. We ended up fixing it by converting the HTML files to PDF files.

Cheers,

Emma

I just wanted to mention that the new INCEpTION 0.17.0 release has improved HTML support.
Annotating and editing annotations is now supported in HTML mode, although still quite basic.

To be honest, I didn't try recommenders with the HTML editor, but chances are they might indeed work to some degree.

Cheers,
