STR Pro provides predefined default entities that can match many common types of data. For example, there are system entities for matching dates, colors, email addresses, and so on. You can also create your own custom entities for matching custom data. For example, you could define a vegetable entity that can match the types of vegetables available for purchase with a grocery store.
Entity terminology #
The term entity is used in this documentation and in the STR Pro to describe the general concept of entities. When discussing entity details, it’s important to understand more specific terms:
- Entity type: Defines the type of information you want to extract from user input. For example, vegetable could be the name of an entity type.
- Entity entry: For each entity type, there are many entity entries. Each entity entry provides a set of words or phrases that are considered equivalent. For example, if vegetable is an entity type, you could define these three entity entries:
