Patch: Update Freebase suggest widget #628

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The current suggest widget being used in Refine uses deprecated and one-off 
hack APIs which will be offline soon. This patch updates refine to use a new 
version of the suggest widget that uses the new Freebase APIs.

The new APIs however require an API key so I am adding a default API key with a 
new option in the freebase dropdown to set a custom API key.

See http://wiki.freebase.com/wiki/Freebase_Suggest

This needs to be backward compatible with custom suggest services. I have 
deleted the patch for now, I'll upload a new one when I have that working.

Ok, here's the patch file. The suggest widget is now backwards compatible with 
custom suggest services that emulate the old suggest API.

Thanks for the patch.  Is this stock Freebase Suggest 4.0 as served from 
gstatic.com or has it been modified in some way?

It looks like we're currently running something 1.2.1 based which is pretty out 
of date considering how long 3.1 was available before 4.0.

It is the stock suggest as served from the links below, no modifications 
whatsoever. All the customization is done in custom-suggest.js

It appears that the new version of the Suggest widget no longer returns 
Freebase object types for matches which we're currently referencing.  

http://code.google.com/p/google-refine/source/browse/trunk/main/webapp/modules/c
ore/scripts/views/data-table/cell-ui.js#333

I'll need to dig further to see if we actually use this information.

Has this patch been deployed internally at Google?

Fixed in r2575.  Thanks for the patch!

The last remaining problem was an incompatible change in the returned data from 
Suggest.  They changed "n:type" to "notable" (and "r:score" to "score", but we 
don't use that).
