Hardcoded disambiguation service in the UI

[lfoppiano]

The JS for the UI contains the hardcoded service for fetching concept:

    fetchConcept(identifier, lang, successFunction) {
        $.ajax({
            type: 'GET',
            url: 'https://cloud.science-miner.com/nerd/service/kb/concept/' + identifier + '?lang=' + lang,
            success: (result) => {
                successFunction(result);
            },
            dataType: 'json'
        });
    }

we should fetch this from the server by calling a new endpoint providing this reading it from the configuration.

Hi @jameshowison

The disambiguation service (https://github.com/kermitt2/entity-fishing) resolves software mentions finding their entry in wikipedia/wikidata. Since Patrice shut down the demo is basically never used, but when I tried to plug it in before the NY workshop I noticed that the URL was hardcoded in the UI code.

Let me know if you need more information

Makes sense! Does that run as a separate service (like another docker image?)

Yes, but because it requires tons of fast storage it's not easy to deploy on huggingface, for example.
