Examples of using the Entity Describer

Example 1: semantic tagging with freebase

  1. Hit the ED2Connotea bookmarklet you have installed
  2. Click in the 'Tags:' text entry field and start typing your tag, for example type 'dolphin'
  3. Select the variety of 'dolphin' that you mean from the list that appears. Did you mean the organism classification? Dolphin Stadium? Risso's Dolphin? Bottlenose Dophin? a fictional Dolphin? Use ED to clarify..
  4. Add as many tags like this as you want. Note: if you want to enter a multi-word term, wrap it in "s like "dolphin stadium". Otherwise, the space will be seen as the end of the tag and the search will begin again - in this case with 'stadium'.

Example 2: tagging with the Gene Ontology

  1. Hit the ED2Connotea bookmarklet you have installed
  2. Click on the 'Filter by Type' link
  3. Click where it says /common/topic and type 'Gene'
  4. Select 'Gene Ontology Group' from the list that appears
  5. Click in the 'Tags:' text entry field and start typing a GO term like 'apoptosis'
  6. Select the GO term from the list that appears and repeat as desired.
