Entity matching for FDM based data

Hello 

I am trying to run entity matching on the data that is in FDM (Data modelling) and not in the classic assets model. I don’t see an option to fetch such items in the entity matching screen (contextualize menu). Is this by design, do we expect a support to search and select such custom models for matching in the future.

 

Also a similar case for data explorer, even when I have updated all my records to have a data set id, I am not able to search for them in the Data explorer. Just wondering when the explorer can start supporting such data.

 

PS:

I imagine, the entity matching can also work if I invoke the APIs directly,  but then I’ll have to extract names + description myself and also need to link the results back to their original ids. A visual ways in CDF Fusion UI will be very helpful.

 

Regards

Alex

Hi Alex! 

The standard Entity Matching UI does indeed not feature fetching data from FDM  (Data Modeling) right now, and only features resources that are in the classical assets model. 

 

As you figured out yourself. there is the possibility to do Entity Matching on the APIs directly, which enables you to match data on FDM (Data Modeling) yourself. 

In addition, there is an experimental (alpha) UI  (working title: Advanced Join) for doing Entity Matching on FDM data models. It is currently not activated in every project by default (limited availability). However, if you are interested, we are happy to give you a demo and activate it in your project for you to experiment with it.

Dear Peet,

Thanks for your prompt response, this helps a lot. I’d be interested to activate the experimental features, let me set-up a project for such purposes first.

Great! Let us know when you have set up the project and we are happy to activate the feature!

However, it is probably best if we give you a tour upfront so that you get to know how the feature is supposed to used.

Thanks Peet. I am in touch with Jason Dressel, our architect contact point at CDF. He is helping me identity the right CDF project where this can be tried out. He may have reached out to you on this.

Alex
