Thanks David.

You are right, it seems the problem comes from the candidates+spotxmlparser option. At first I thought the spotted text input was only available through the disambiguate option. However, I tested the candidates+spotxmlparser combination in http://spotlight.dbpedia.org/rest web service and saw that it worked. I was wondering if it could be a bug or if it was decided not to implement the functionality in the statistical service.

Itziar

Hello Itziar,

I've not used the SpotXmlParser before, but using the regular spotter gives you back a list of candidates on the spots found in the given input text.
i.e:
http://spotlight.sztaki.hu:2222/rest/candidates/?confidence=0.2&support=20&&text=Washington%20is%20a%20big%20city

I guess the problem might have to do with using `spotter=SpotXmlParser`...
I will take a look at what's the stacktrace..

    Hi all,

    I've been using both http://spotlight.dbpedia.org/rest and
    http://spotlight.sztaki.hu:2222/rest web services and noticed that
    while in the first one it is possible to use the "candidates"
    option given a spotted text, the same option is not available in
    the statistical implementation. It returns the following error:
    "error on line 1 at column 1: Document is empty"

    Is there any way of using a spotted text and obtaining a list of
    candidates with the statistical model?

    The examples I used are:

    http://spotlight.dbpedia.org/rest/candidates/?spotter=SpotXmlParser&text=
    <annotation text="Brazilian oil giant Petrobras and U.S. oilfield
    service
    company Halliburton have signed a technological cooperation agreement,
    Petrobras announced Monday. The two companies agreed on three
    projects:
    studies on contamination of fluids in oil wells, laboratory
    simulation of
    well production, and research on solidification of salt and carbon
    dioxide
    formations, said Petrobras. Twelve other projects are still under
    negotiation."><surfaceForm name="Brazilian"
    offset="0"/><surfaceForm name="
    oil" offset="10"/></annotation>

    and
