Sharing a synonym catalog?
Hi,
Me and some colleagues need to use the same synonym catalogs (based on CSV files). We would like to do this in a way where we don't have to define the synonyms on all installations of DC but somehow reuse them. Is there a way to have a shared "repository" of reference data or something like that?
Best regards,
Franklin

Hi Franklin,
Currently there is no repository as such (ie. in the sense of a centralized configuration of multiple installations) but there is a configuration file which you can edit and copy to your colleagues.
Open up the file conf.xml in the root folder of DataCleaner. There you will find a set of sample synonym catalogs which I think you can probably use as a template for your own. For example this one:
Of course this also requires you to register your datastore (in the example above "Country codes"). But this is also in the sample configuration file.
Hope this is sufficient for your needs.

<datastore-synonym-catalog name="Country code (2 letter)" description="Retrieve ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of country/territory">
<datastore-name>Country codes</datastore-name>
<master-term-column-path>ISO 3166-2</master-term-column-path>
<synonym-column-path>ISO 3166-3</synonym-column-path>
<synonym-column-path>ISO Numeric</synonym-column-path>
<synonym-column-path>Country name</synonym-column-path>
</datastore-synonym-catalog>

Thanks for that. Works nicely.
