Double quotes in queries

[Peter Organisciak]

This tripped me up: four of the target_ids in the queries have quotation marks as part of the string.

e.g. 

"target_id": "\"http://en.wikipedia...\""

instead of 

 "target_id": "http://en.wikipedia..."

I expect that's unintended?

I noticed that too. No idea why those are there. 

Btw, I filled out that form and left it in my mailbox.

Oh, very good catch! That is not intended. Thanks, Peter.

Everyone should pay attention to this.

This happened because these four entities also have "," characters, and we
decided to maintain consistency with last year and not start escaping
commas and parentheses, even though that might be more correct. We
organized the final query triage in Excel, and Excel's export put quotes
on these four entities.

(Related: you may have already noted that William_H._Gates,_Sr redirects
to William_H._Gates,_Sr. (with "."), because we wanted to keep the
target_id string consistent with last year.)

This "," error caused part of the training data to not get through in the
export, so I will re-release the query topics with this additions to the
training data on Monday after discussing the comments we've received on
SSF with Ian at NIST. If there are any other changes, I will post here.

We're still discussing SSF details, so if you have comments on SSF slot
definitions, you can still speak up...

Where do I find the target ids?
