Hello, I am building a bot in another language and would like to know if it is possible to use this bot system to query the concepts in a database of type elasticsearch?

I’m studying the possibility of creating an additional module to query the concepts through elastic ... but also I’m seeing that ChatScript works with Json ... I still do not quite understand ...

I could within a topic or in my control script create a function that checks a portion of the text and make a direct query via json in my database to find out if this word is part of a concept?

or would it be easier to modify the built-in functions to perform queries using libcurl and checking the results?

It is not easier to modify built in functions and you make it harder to upgrade to later CS versions.
You should be able to use ^JSONopen (which uses libcurl) to query an api that accepts/sends JSON. If you are asking it to return concepts that the word is a part of, you can take the returning concept names and do ^mark(~conceptname _0) on the word (where _0 is where the word is).  So does this answer your question or you need more information?

Hmmm I understand

is that I have a very large database to import ... I’ve done this by raising up a variable with a maximum limit of 8000. But the query in the file system indexed by ChatScript left the bots with a slow response time ...

I created an api here so I could do this kind of verification ...
where I send a word, a category and get a true / false if it exists or not ..

Now I can do a requester in Json within a topic to do this check .. Is this allowed in the script?
Example, check if the word is an adjective and send that word to my api?

http: // localhost: 54099 / api / smart / myword / searcategory

I do not know what “raising up a variable with a maximum limit of 8000” means.  And what is a large database mean—how large.  If you brought in all the data as facts during startup, using CS std ^query calls will be extremely fast.

You can call ^JsonOpen during script execution at any time.

If you have hundreds of thousands of facts of the form (myword member ~myconcept) then those imported facts can either be queried via ^query(direct_svo $_myword member $_myconcept 1)

got it..
Sorry for my English ... Google translator ... hehe

I am using a complete wikipedia database modified to use as concepts ...

Do you think you can import the categories of the bank of wikipedia as concepts without much loss of performance?

Probably too much data to load locally. Use JsonOpen or Postgres or Mongo in a query

Ok Bruce,
Thanks for All!!!
