Getting wrong data for entity count.
Getting wrong data for entity count.
Posted on: Sun, 06/08/2008 - 09:44

I'm getting wrong data for the 'count' value in the simple format. For example this article (accessed through Spotlight with Open Calais simple output):

http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUST27752620080608

Isn't really about the editor David Fogarty at all. In fact his name only appears in the by-line at the very bottom. However I'm getting a count of '6' for him:

< Person count="6" > David Fogarty < / Person >*

But he's only mentioned once in the article. Could someone look into this?

*(spaces are inserted because i can't get the markup to show in the forum otherwise)

I've made the following call to Spotlight

http://spotlight.reuters.com/api/feed/us/channelarticles/topNews/atom?apikey=[my spotlight api key]&semantic=calaissimple&version=1.0&count=100

which returned this output (shortened to the article in question):

http://pastebin.com/m653d2b6f

(the wrong count can be found at line 68, also it raised to 10 while the article was being updated by Reuters)

Maybe this is a problem on Spotlight's end but the last time I was asking something about the entity output I was sort of sent here (the bug in the NaturalDisaster entity).

Hi, We will update Open

Hi,
We will update Open Calais version tomorrow. This will include some bug fixes in Simple Format Output.
I recommend you try this tomorrow evening US time and if it still happens I will ask you to try this directly using Calais API.
A simple test using Open Calais directly without any development can be with our submission tool http://www.opencalais.com/node/307.

Let us know your results.
Thanks,
Ofer

We have investigated this further and it seems we have found a bug in our software. I will update later on when this bug will be fixed.
