This article introduces InterSystems iKnow Entity Browser, a web application which allows to visualize extracted and organized text data mined from a large number of texts, powered by InterSystems iKnow technology, which is also known as InterSystems Text Analytics in InterSystems IRIS. Feel free to play with the demo of this tool or learn more about it on InterSystems Open Exchange. I started the development of this project in late 2016. From now on, my iKnow Entity Browser is used around the world by those who use InterSystems technology in their stack and those who do text mining. This article should have appeared earlier, however, it's never late to tell something about the useful stuff! What InterSystems Text Analytics is About InterSystems iKnow (or InterSystems Text Analytics) is an embeddable NLP technology which allows to extract meaningful data from texts. Well, not only just to extract this data, but also to gather it, link, filter and prioritize. As a result, InterSystems iKnow provides a solid ground for building data applications for data mining. From the programming perspective, iKnow provides a rich API which allows to embed this technology to any application, regardless of its programming language. iKnow Entity Browser uses this API to visualize the processed data in a form of a tree of concepts and relations. Before InterSystems iKnow Entity Browser was released, the only out-of-the-box solution available for data exploration was the embedded iKnow viewer, which is shipped together with InterSystems' Cache-based and IRIS products. This viewer features many useful tools primarily for searching something in the processed text (in iKnow it is called domain), while iKnow Entity Browser is created also to visualize and organize concepts in a text. iKnow Knowledge Portal Look iKnow Entity Browser iKnow Entity Browser is an open-source project, meaning that anyone can contribute to its core. Here's the list of features that have been developed: visualization of similar and related concepts as a tree (snowflake diagram), zoom in and out support; graph editing tools: selection, deletion, undo & redo operations; data source customization, which also enables exploring the graph on remote servers; customizable tabular view of all entities presented on a graph, which can also be exported as a *.csv spreadsheet; mobile-friendly, touch-compatible, responsive user interface. iKnow Entity Browser Graph Demo Installation iKnow Entity Browser installation is pretty straightforward. Download the latest release (XML file) of the application and import it into iKnow-enabled namespace (for example, SAMPLES). This works with all latest InterSystems product releases, including InterSystems IRIS data platform. To import XML file, you can drag & drop the file onto the Studio (Atelier) window. Alternatively, you can import the file using the system management portal, in system explorer — classes. Then, open your browser at http://localhost:57772/EntityBrowser/ web page (change the host/port respectively to your server's setup and mind to append the trailing slash / at the end of the URL). To delete the application, simply delete the EntityBrowser package from Studio/Atelier. The installed web application will be deleted automatically if it wasn't modified since installation, the same way as it gets created during the installation. Currently, to use iKnow Entity Browser in different namespaces, you need to import it to each iKnow-enabled namespace, and manually set up web application (for example, you can clone /EntityBrowser application and rename it). Change the settings inside the web application to corresponding ones in this case (read the customization guide below). If you installed iKnow Entity Browser on the server and made the web application public, you can connect to this server from any front end, for example, even from this demo application. Customization Application's setting menu, located in the top right corner of the user interface allows to customize the appearance and data source. In the settings menu, you can specify the following (see the image below): Data source URL, which identifies the server with installed iKnow entity browser (/EntityBrowser web application). Domain name. When you create a new domain in InterSystems iKnow, you specify the name of the domain. This name goes into domain name input. A seed concept name which builds the graph. By default, iKnow Entity Browser builds the graph starting from related concepts to the seed concept you specify, however, you can change it to be similar concepts, using the drop-down menu on the left side from the seed concept input or the drop-down menu in the main view if enabled. Whether or not to place the seed concept input in the main view. Whether or not to place the query type drop-down menu in the main view. Whether or not to show hidden nodes in the tabular view. Hidden nodes are those which are not expanded in a view but present in a query result. Columns that are displayed in a tabular view. Here you can customize the column name and select a value it displays (ID, inbound edge type, label, score, spread, frequency, parent concept's label, parent concept's id). Reset all settings to defaults. iKnow Entity Browser Settings The Graph Once the seed concept is specified in settings, iKnow Entity Browser builds a graph of similar or related concepts to the seed concept. You can play with this graph by dragging its nodes, however, the physical force will always try to organize it in a form of the snowflake diagram. The graph can be edited using the controls in the bottom of the screen. This includes undo/redo buttons, zoom in/out and reset zoom buttons, reset selection button, unlink and delete selection buttons. Hovering over any of these buttons displays a tooltip. Menu with controls In case you need a list of selected concepts, you can toggle a tabular view by pressing on the corresponding button in the top right corner. Everything you do on the graph stays in sync with the tabular view and vice versa. In the tabular view, once you hover over one of the rows, the corresponding node is highlighted on the graph. If you click the row, the graph view automatically focuses on the corresponding node. As well as on the graph, you can click buttons in table rows to select/deselect nodes. Tabular View Once you have a selection of nodes, you can export them as a table in *.csv format. Press the tabular view button in the top right corner for the table to appear and then you'll find the "Export" button. This will export all selected nodes in a form of a table, the same table as you have in a tabular view. There's More iKnow Entity Browser is just one of the numerous projects I did for InterSystems corporation. Here are some if you haven't seen these projects yet: WebTerminal, Visual Editor, Class Explorer, Light Pivot Table, GlobalsDB Admin. Find these and other InterSystems-related projects on InterSystems Marketplace. All of my projects are open sourced, allowing others to contribute. The code of these projects is available on GitHub. You can also use their code as an example to build your own application on top of InterSystems' products. If you take a closer look, you'll find out that most of them are installable packages, shipped in a single XML file. If you are curious about using the same strategy for your packages, check this article. Hope you'll find iKnow Entity Browser and other projects useful! Enjoy! Thanks for posting Nikita. Your visualization has indeed been extremely helpful in showing what iKnow entities are all about to new audiences and is easily embeddable in applications where large numbers of entities need to be explored or navigated! Thank you Benjamin! Glad to hear this Thanks for posting. I followed the install directions and customized the domain and seed word and the web browser seemed to indicate that it was processing and never stopped. CPU usage was overloaded and I'm having to reboot the server. Has anyone else encountered this? In EntityBrowser.API class set PAGESIZE parameter to 100 and compile the class. Thanks, that fed me results quickly. What is this doing? I'm familiar with PAGESIZE as it relates to number of rows returned. I've noticed nodes now that say to display x more. So is this returning first 100, top 100, or something different? TOP 100.

Hi Community!You're very welcome to watch a new video on InterSystems Developers YouTube, recorded in a new format called "Coding Talks":Developing with Docker and InterSystems IRIS Community Edition In this video, presented by @Evgeny.Shvarov, you will know how to develop InterSystems IRIS solution on ObjectScript using Docker with example of dockerised InterSystems IRIS repository.Read how to dockerize your repo here.And...A little bit about our new video format: Coding Talks is a short video in which the developer demonstrates a particular feature or functionality of InterSystems Data Platforms which he/she uses to in coding. Typical format: the face on side and editor with ObjectScript.So! Enjoy watching the video and you're very welcome to share your own ideas/themes for our new video format in the comments to this post!Stay tuned! This article needs to link to pre-requisite articles to be of much use. For a developer who is used to writing ObjectScript in Studio on a local Ensemble installation, the starting point for this video is so far removed from what is familiar as to make it pretty useless. Similarly, for a newcomer to InterSystems development there is little here to latch onto to get things started. As part of a series this might well make a lot of sense, but as a standalone video its like demonstrating how to build a space rocket by showing an astronaut strapping themselves in for takeoff - it felt like all of the hard work had already been done. Hi Duncan!As mentioned above the video is a sort of "work through" for this article. Could you be more specific what doesn't work?BTW, just Yesterday I recorded another one which shows how to start a totally new app with Github, IRIS on docker and VSCode. Hope it will answer some of your questions.

The preview release of InterSystems HealthShare Health Connect 2019.1 is now available! Kits and container images are available via WRC's preview download site. InterSystems HealthShare Health Connect version 2019.1 is the first version of InterSystems HealthShare Health Connect synchronized with InterSystems IRIS, and includes many new features and capabilities, most notably: FHIR STU3 Support Java Business Hosts Managed File Transfer (MFT) Containerized and cloud deployment New interoperability capabilities that speed configuring and troubleshooting of productions These are detailed in the draft documentation and release notes for InterSystems HealthShare Health Connect (Note that the Health Connect documentation is currently available only to registered healthcare customers via an SSO login.) Preview releases allow our customers to get an early start working with new features and functionality. They are supported for development and test purposes, but not for production. This preview release does not provide an upgrade from earlier versions of InterSystems HealthShare Health Connect; if you are interested in testing the upgrade process, please contact your InterSystems representative. We noticed that SAMPLES DB appears to be missing, was this intentional? Are you planning to add it in the official release? Also, will there separate notification on build releases with list of fixes? Thank youYuriy The IRIS-based products don't ship a SAMPLES database. Instead there's a documented procedure for setting up your own, then fetching the samples you want.

Hi Community!Check the fresh Virtually Speaking recording "InterSystems on vSAN" with @Murray.Oldfield Have a great weekend!

Hi Community! We're pleased to announce that that InterSystems IRIS Community Edition is available on the Docker Store! InterSystems IRIS Community Edition is the no-cost developer edition designed to lower the barriers to entry to get started with IRIS. Now that it is listed on the Docker Store, running an IRIS Community instance is as easy as - docker run -d -p 52773:52773 store/intersystems/iris:2019.1.0.511.0-community For more on running IRIS in containers check out our Documentation or one of the many Community posts on the topic! Confirming that! Really great news, Joe! What are the limitations of Community edition? One limitation I can see straight away is that this version only includes outdated files for Node.js (ie the iris*.node files). All I see is iris610.node and iris700.node. Is there a reason why the Node.js version 8 and version 10 interface files haven't been included? What a wonderful news There's a section about Community Edition limitations in the document at https://irisdocs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=ACLOUD#ACLOUD_limitsHere's a screenshot of what it currently says:A big disappointment for me is the exclusion of namespace mapping. Those of us who create tools for the InterSystems world commonly use namespace mapping to make our tools available in the users' namespaces. See Evgeny's article here I downloaded IRIS Community edition (store/intersystems/iris:2019.1.0.510.0-community) and was able to create package and global mappings without any issues. I was able to create the mappings, but they don't seem to work for me. Not even after an IRIS restart.I'm using the %ALL pseudo-namespace. I created these mappings (no restarts):Ens* global mapping for ENSLIB -> USERDeepSee* global mapping for ENSLIB -> %ALLEns* package mapping for ENSLIB -> USERHere's the result: I notice that your mappings get code from ENSLIBMy use-case is a bit different.Can you create a new database and namespace pair called XYZ and then define a %ALL mapping so that the globals ^XYZ and the routines XYZ* and the package XYZ get fetched from your XYZ namespace from all other namespaces, e.g. USER ?I'd expect mappings to ENSLIB to work, otherwise the "Ensemble" features of IRIS would be broken in Community Edition.It seems to me that those are allowed but mappings we define to our own databases get ignored. Yeah, apparently only DeepSee and Ens packages/globals can be mapped successfully.Tried random package and it didn't show up even after mapping to %ALL. Thanks, Rob!Introduced your issue here. Please share more requests and feedback there Thanks, John!Your feedback is filed here. Also here. I beat you to it! This is a restriction in the Community Edition and it is what is meant byAll InterSystems IRIS functionality is included except the following:Namespace mapping...You can create mappings and activate configurations which contain mappings if that is useful for some purpose (eg. building a configuration for someone else) however all mappings which do not involve a system database are ignored.

InterSystems has corrected a memory leak in applications that pass by reference to a formal parameter that accepts a variable number of arguments. This problem exists for: InterSystems IRIS Data Platform – all currently released versions InterSystems IRIS for Health – all currently released versions HealthShare Health Connect 2019.1.0 If this defect occurs, the process partition will eventually be exhausted, resulting in a <STORE> error. The defect occurs if application code calls a subroutine passing an argument by reference to a parameter that accepts a variable number of arguments using the … syntax. For background on these topics and more examples of code that uses them, see the “Variable Number of Parameters” and the “Passing By Reference” sections in the “Callable User-defined Code Modules” chapter of Using ObjectScript in the documentation (Docs.InterSystems.com). Here is an example to demonstrate the defect: test // CDS3148 test set (var1,var2,var3)=0 do sub(var1,.var2,var3) quit sub(arg1,args…) quit USER>for i=1:1:1000 { do ^test } write $S 268301128 USER>for i=1:1:1000 { do ^test } write $S 268276552 USER> This subroutine call would also demonstrate the defect: do sub(var1,var2,.var3) But this one would not: do sub(.var1,var2,var3) The correction for this defect is identified as CDS3148. It will be included in all future product releases. It is also available via Ad hoc distribution from the InterSystems Worldwide Response Center (WRC). If you have any questions regarding this alert, please contact the Worldwide Response Center.

Hi Community!I'm pleased to announce that the winner of the Global Summit Free Registration Contest is... Dmitry Maslennikov!Final leaderboard is:To win the prize Dmitry published 3 posts and 13 comments in two weeks. Thanks to your votes for posts and comments Dmitry gathered maximum number of points.We award Dmitry with Free Registration promo code for InterSystems Global Summit 2016 and cover expenses for 4 night stay in Waldorf Astoria Arizona Biltmore.Welcome to InterSystems Global Summit 2016! Thanks a lot Congrats! Congratulations! I am looking forward to meeting you at the Global Summit.Stefan So first off, I think Dmitry deserved to win, but I do have a question.In this post, dated Feb 19th, I had 55 points. On the 26th I posted asking about it and my score was at 50. 4 days later and my final score is still 50 (after a lot more posts). What's the deal? edit: Just realized that posts to the Developer Community Feedback forum didn't count, which explains why my points didn't go up. But it still doesn't explain why they went down. :) Scott - I am sure Evgeny will provide some clarification here once he gets online. Thanks for your patience! Hi, Scott!You are right!The explanation is very simple - we had a bug in formula. Sorry about this.But the final leaderboard is quite right! We have points for: posting, commenting, votes in your posts and comments. And yes, we filter Announcements and Developer Community Feedback groups. Scott!Want to invite you to participate in the Second Developer Community Contest!Hope we will not show errors in leaderboard this time :)
