trec-entity-tool | Tool for TREC Entity Track Dataset

Step 0) Set up your development environment (JDK 1.6 or greater, Maven 2.0.9 or greater). We'll assume that you know how to get and set up the JDK - if you don't, then we suggest starting at http://java.sun.com and learning more about Java, before continuing as this tool is based on SIREn. SIREn runs with JDK 1.6 and later. Like many Open Source java projects, SIREn uses Apache Maven for build control. Specifically, you MUST use Maven version 2.0.9 or greater. Step 1) From the command line, change (cd) into the root directory of the tool. The root directory contains the project pom.xml file. By default, you do not need to change any of the settings in this file, but you do need to run maven from this location so it knows where to find pom.xml. Step 2) Run maven. Assuming you have maven in your PATH, typing the following commands at the shell prompt should run maven. 1- To create a jar with maven: $ mvn assembly:assembly this will create the jar target/siren-eostool-0.1-SNAPSHOT-assembly.jar. 2- To run the JUnit tests with maven: $ mvn test. 3- To create an index for the Sindice-ED dataset format: $ java -cp $JAR org.sindice.siren.index.IndexingCLI --dumps-dir src/test/resources/ --index-dir /tmp/test-ED --format SINDICE_ED where $JAR=target/siren-eostool-0.1-SNAPSHOT-assembly.jar This will create an index at /tmp/test-ED from the files at src/test/resources/ corresponding to the dataset format SINDICE_ED.
