Web-based GUI

Nordlys is shipped with a web-based graphical user interface, which is built on the Nordlys API. It is a wrapper for all functionalities provided by Nordlys toolkit and can be used, e.g., to perform user studies on result presentation.

The implementation of the Web interface is based on Flask and Bootstrap. Below we describe the functionalities provided by the excerpts from the Web GUI with their interface.

Note

The interface can be accessed via: http://gui.nordlys.cc/

Entity linking in queries

For entity linking in queries, we use the baseline CMNS method, with threshold 0.1. For example, we make the following call to the entity linking service of our API:
