Basic Cheshire Searching and Retrieving

This file wants to document how one can use Cheshire to query the CLiC database. It fills in the gaps of the official cheshire documentation and it provides a number of very specific, hands-on examples.

Author: Johan de Joode

Database: Dickens

Setup

In [1]:
# coding: utf-8

import os

from cheshire3.baseObjects import Session
from cheshire3.document import StringDocument
from cheshire3.internal import cheshire3Root
from cheshire3.server import SimpleServer   

session = Session()
session.database = 'db_dickens'
serv = SimpleServer(session, os.path.join(cheshire3Root, 'configs', 'serverConfig.xml'))
db = serv.get_object(session, session.database)
qf = db.get_object(session, 'defaultQueryFactory')
resultSetStore = db.get_object(session, 'resultSetStore')
idxStore = db.get_object(session, 'indexStore')

Querying

Build a query. This does not hit the database itself.

In [2]:
query = qf.get_query(session, 'c3.subcorpus-idx = "dickens" and/cql.proxinfo c3.chapter-idx = "fog"')

A query can be printed as CQL or as XCQL

In [3]:
print query.toCQL()
(c3.subcorpus-idx = "dickens" and/cql.proxinfo c3.chapter-idx = "fog")

In [4]:
print query.toXCQL()

      <term>fog</term>
    </searchClause>
  </rightOperand>

To search the database using this particular query, one needs to use the search method on a database object. This spits out a result set.

In [5]:
result_set = db.search(session, query)
result_set
Out[5]:
<cheshire3.resultSet.SimpleResultSet at 0x7f2a19aad090>

Handling the results

When using the chapter index, the result set is an iterable of results in which each chapter is one result. For the query above, there are thus 35 chapters that match the query.

In [6]:
print len(result_set)
35

Each result in the result set refers to a particular recordStore in which, surprise surprise, the actual chapter is stored.

In [7]:
for result in result_set:
    print result

Understanding the results

For each of these results a number of attributes can be accessed using the dot notation. The choices are:

In our current setup it seems that results are not weighed.

proxInfo is one of the most important attributes for our purposes.

It describes the proximity information for a hit in a particular record, or in other words, where in a record the search string can be found.

We currently assume the following values: * the first item is the id of the root element from which to start counting to find the word node for instance, 0 for a chapter view (because the chapter is the root element), but 151 for a search in quotes text. * the second item in the deepest list (169, 171) is the id of the (word) node * the third element is the character offset, or the exact character (spaces, and and punctuation (stored in (non-word) nodes at which the search term starts * the fourth element is the total amount of characters in the document

From what I gather, a result in a resultSet is only a pointer to the document and not the document itself. The latter needs to be fetched and is generally called a record.

Records have the following attributes (most of which seem irrelevant for our purposes and several of which only return empty strings):

rec.baseUri           rec.elementHash       rec.get_sax           rec.parent            rec.rights

The get_dom(session) method spits out the record in parsed xml. This is essential for our purposes.

A record can be transformed into raw xml (in order to understand it), using a method from lxml:

In [15]:
from lxml import etree
rec_tostring = etree.tostring(rec2)
print rec_tostring
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NameError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-15-5a6ae3c1b644> in <module>()
      1 from lxml import etree
----> 2 rec_tostring = etree.tostring(rec2)
      3 print rec_tostring

NameError: name 'rec2' is not defined

This could also be used in simple python string manipulations. For instance, to highlight something in a chapter, or to build a concordance based on the raw string rather than an xml tree.

In that case one should note that only each occurrence of a term is duplicated because it is present in <txt> and in its own word node.

In [16]:
# find the first occurrence of the term love
# because that is what we are all looking for

Transforming a result

Rather than manually handling the xml like this, Cheshire has a class called a Transformer that can perform xsl transformations on the xml of a chapter.

Transformers are defined in a configuration file. In our project they live in an xsl file.

The following examples use a transformer that was not designed to work with our input, but they do illustrate how transformers can be invoked.

Thirty years ago, Marseilles lay burning in the sun, one day.Thirty  years  ago , Marseilles  lay  burning  in  the  sun , one  day .

A blazing sun upon a fierce August day was no greater rarity in southern France then, than at any other time, before or since.A  blazing  sun  upon  a  fierce  August  day  was  no  greater  rarity  in  southern  France  then , than  at  any  other  time , before  or  since .Everything in Marseilles, and about Marseilles, had stared at the fervid sky, and been stared at in return, until a staring habit had become universal there.Everything  in  Marseilles , and  about  Marseilles , had  stared  at  the  fervid  sky , and  been  stared  at  in  return , until  a  staring  habit  had  become  universal  there .Strangers were stared out of countenance by staring white houses, staring white walls, staring white streets, staring tracts of arid road, staring hills from which verdure was burnt away.Strangers  were  stared  out  of  countenance  by  staring  white  houses , staring  white  walls , staring  white  streets , staring  tracts  of  arid  road , staring  hills  from  which  verdure  was  burnt  away .The only things to be seen not fixedly staring and glaring were the vines drooping under their load of grapes.The  only  things  to  be  seen  not  fixedly  staring  and  glaring  were  the  vines  drooping  under  their  load  of  grapes .These did occasionally wink a little, as the hot air barely moved their faint leaves.These  did  occasionally  wink  a  little , as  the  hot  air  barely  moved  their  faint  leaves .

There was no wind to make a ripple on the foul water within the harbour, or on the beautiful sea without.There  was  no  wind  to  make  a  ripple  on  the  foul  water  within  the  harbour , or  on  the  beautiful  sea  without .The line of demarcation between the two colours, black and blue, showed the point which the pure sea would not pass; but it lay as quiet as the abominable pool, with which it never mixed.The  line  of  demarcation  between  the  two  colours , black  and  blue , showed  the  point  which  the  pure  sea  would  not  pass ; but  it  lay  as  quiet  as  the  abominable  pool , with  which  it  never  mixed .Boats without awnings were too hot to touch; ships blistered at their moorings; the stones of the quays had not cooled, night or day, for months.Boats  without  awnings  were  too  hot  to  touch ; ships  blistered  at  their  moorings ; the  stones  of  the  quays  had  not  cooled , night  or  day , for  months .Hindoos, Russians, Chinese, Spaniards, Portuguese, Englishmen, Frenchmen, Genoese, Neapolitans, Venetians, Greeks, Turks, descendants from all the builders of Babel, come to trade at Marseilles, sought the shade alike--taking refuge in any hiding-place from a sea too intensely blue to be looked at, and a sky of purple, set with one great flaming jewel of fire.Hindoos , Russians , Chinese , Spaniards , Portuguese , Englishmen , Frenchmen , Genoese , Neapolitans , Venetians , Greeks , Turks , descendants  from  all  the  builders  of  Babel , come  to  trade  at  Marseilles , sought  the  shade  alike --taking  refuge  in  any  hiding-place  from  a  sea  too  intensely  blue  to  be  looked  at , and  a  sky  of  purple , set  with  one  great  flaming  jewel  of  fire .

The universal stare made the eyes ache.The  universal  stare  made  the  eyes  ache .Towards the distant line of Italian coast, indeed, it was a little relieved by light clouds of mist, slowly rising from the evaporation of the sea, but it softened nowhere else.Towards  the  distant  line  of  Italian  coast , indeed , it  was  a  little  relieved  by  light  clouds  of  mist , slowly  rising  from  the  evaporation  of  the  sea , but  it  softened  nowhere  else .Far away the staring roads, deep in dust, stared from the hill-side, stared from the hollow, stared from the interminable plain.Far  away  the  staring  roads , deep  in  dust , stared  from  the  hill-side , stared  from  the  hollow , stared  from  the  interminable  plain .Far away the dusty vines overhanging wayside cottages, and the monotonous wayside avenues of parched trees without shade, drooped beneath the stare of earth and sky.Far  away  the  dusty  vines  overhanging  wayside  cottages , and  the  monotonous  wayside  avenues  of  parched  trees  without  shade , drooped  beneath  the  stare  of  earth  and  sky .So did the horses with drowsy bells, in long files of carts, creeping slowly towards the interior; so did their recumbent drivers, when they were awake, which rarely happened; so did the exhausted labourers in the fields.So  did  the  horses  with  drowsy  bells , in  long  files  of  carts , creeping  slowly  towards  the  interior ; so  did  their  recumbent  drivers , when  they  were  awake , which  rarely  happened ; so  did  the  exhausted  labourers  in  the  fields .Everything that lived or grew, was oppressed by the glare; except the lizard, passing swiftly over rough stone walls, and the cicala, chirping his dry hot chirp, like a rattle.Everything  that  lived  or  grew , was  oppressed  by  the  glare ; except  the  lizard , passing  swiftly  over  rough  stone  walls , and  the  cicala , chirping  his  dry  hot  chirp , like  a  rattle .The very dust was scorched brown, and something quivered in the atmosphere as if the air itself were panting.The  very  dust  was  scorched  brown , and  something  quivered  in  the  atmosphere  as  if  the  air  itself  were  panting .

Blinds, shutters, curtains, awnings, were all closed and drawn to keep out the stare.Blinds , shutters , curtains , awnings , were  all  closed  and  drawn  to  keep  out  the  stare .Grant it but a chink or keyhole, and it shot in like a white-hot arrow.Grant  it  but  a  chink  or  keyhole , and  it  shot  in  like  a  white-hot  arrow .The churches were the freest from it.The  churches  were  the  freest  from  it .To come out of the twilight of pillars and arches--dreamily dotted with winking lamps, dreamily peopled with ugly old shadows piously dozing, spitting, and begging--was to plunge into a fiery river, and swim for life to the nearest strip of shade.To  come  out  of  the  twilight  of  pillars  and  arches --dreamily  dotted  with  winking  lamps , dreamily  peopled  with  ugly  old  shadows  piously  dozing , spitting , and  begging --was  to  plunge  into  a  fiery  river , and  swim  for  life  to  the  nearest  strip  of  shade .So, with people lounging and lying wherever shade was, with but little hum of tongues or barking of dogs, with occasional jangling of discordant church bells and rattling of vicious drums, Marseilles, a fact to be strongly smelt and tasted, lay broiling in the sun one day.So , with  people  lounging  and  lying  wherever  shade  was , with  but  little  hum  of  tongues  or  barking  of  dogs , with  occasional  jangling  of  discordant  church  bells  and  rattling  of  vicious  drums , Marseilles , a  fact  to  be  strongly  smelt  and  tasted , lay  broiling  in  the  sun  one  day .In Marseilles that day there was a villainous prison.In  Marseilles  that  day  there  was  a  villainous  prison .In one of its chambers, so repulsive a place that even the obtrusive stare blinked at it, and left it to such refuse of reflected light as it could find for itself, were two men.In  one  of  its  chambers , so  repulsive  a  place  that  even  the  obtrusive  stare  blinked  at  it , and  left  it  to  such  refuse  of  reflected  light  as  it  could  find  for  itself , were  two  men .Besides the two men, a notched and disfigured bench, immovable from the wall, with a draught-board rudely hacked upon it with a knife, a set of draughts, made of old buttons and soup bones, a set of dominoes, two mats, and two or three wine bottles.Besides  the  two  men , a  notched  and  disfigured  bench , immovable  from  the  wall , with  a  draught-board  rudely  hacked  upon  it  with  a  knife , a  set  of  draughts , made  of  old  buttons  and  soup  bones , a  set  of  dominoes , two  mats , and  two  or  three  wine  bottles .That was all the chamber held, exclusive of rats and other unseen vermin, in addition to the seen vermin, the two men.That  was  all  the  chamber  held , exclusive  of  rats  and  other  unseen  vermin , in  addition  to  the  seen  vermin , the  two  men .

It received such light as it got through a grating of iron bars fashioned like a pretty large window, by means of which it could be always inspected from the gloomy staircase on which the grating gave.It  received  such  light  as  it  got  through  a  grating  of  iron  bars  fashioned  like  a  pretty  large  window , by  means  of  which  it  could  be  always  inspected  from  the  gloomy  staircase  on  which  the  grating  gave .There was a broad strong ledge of stone to this grating where the bottom of it was let into the masonry, three or four feet above the ground.There  was  a  broad  strong  ledge  of  stone  to  this  grating  where  the  bottom  of  it  was  let  into  the  masonry , three  or  four  feet  above  the  ground .Upon it, one of the two men lolled, half sitting and half lying, with his knees drawn up, and his feet and shoulders planted against the opposite sides of the aperture.Upon  it , one  of  the  two  men  lolled , half  sitting  and  half  lying , with  his  knees  drawn  up , and  his  feet  and  shoulders  planted  against  the  opposite  sides  of  the  aperture .The bars were wide enough apart to admit of his thrusting his arm through to the elbow; and so he held on negligently, for his greater ease.The  bars  were  wide  enough  apart  to  admit  of  his  thrusting  his  arm  through  to  the  elbow ; and  so  he  held  on  negligently , for  his  greater  ease .

A prison taint was on everything there.A  prison  taint  was  on  everything  there .The imprisoned air, the imprisoned light, the imprisoned damps, the imprisoned men, were all deteriorated by confinement.The  imprisoned  air , the  imprisoned  light , the  imprisoned  damps , the  imprisoned  men , were  all  deteriorated  by  confinement .As the captive men were faded and haggard, so the iron was rusty, the stone was slimy, the wood was rotten, the air was faint, the light was dim.As  the  captive  men  were  faded  and  haggard , so  the  iron  was  rusty , the  stone  was  slimy , the  wood  was  rotten , the  air  was  faint , the  light  was  dim .Like a well, like a vault, like a tomb, the prison had no knowledge of the brightness outside, and would have kept its polluted atmosphere intact in one of the spice islands of the Indian ocean.Like  a  well , like  a  vault , like  a  tomb , the  prison  had  no  knowledge  of  the  brightness  outside , and  would  have  kept  its  polluted  atmosphere  intact  in  one  of  the  spice  islands  of  the  Indian  ocean .
