Mapping the common analysis structure to a relational database

You can specify which text analysis results from a common analysis structure are to be mapped to a relational database.

About this task

By mapping the common analysis structure to relational database tables, you enable the data to be used by database applications. You can also use the information for additional text processing, such as using the information in content mining applications.

You can use one mapping file at a time to map a common analysis structure to a relational database. If you upload a new mapping file, the current mapping file is overwritten.

Procedure

To map the common analysis structure to a relational database:

  1. Expand the collection that you want to configure and click Actions > Text processing options.
  2. In the Map the common analysis structure to a relational database area of the Text Processing Options page, click Add Mapping.
  3. On the Map the Common Analysis Structure to a Relational Database page, type a descriptive display name for the mapping file that you want to use to map information to a relational database.
  4. Specify the location of the file. If the mapping file is on your local system, you can browse to locate the file. If the mapping file is on the server where Annotation Administration Console is installed, you must type the fully qualified path. After you click OK, the display name for the mapping file that you added is shown on the Text Processing Options page.
