Treora opened a new issue #83: URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-annotator/issues/83
Many annotation tools want to match a quote also when it has been modified slightly, but we have yet to implement this. Enabling approximate/fuzzy string matching could be an option to our existing implementation (perhaps a parameter that tells how fuzzy the match should be, where 0 means exact matching); alternatively it could be exposed as a separate implementation. A second question is whether the matcher should return information about the quality of the match, and if so, how the API would look. I suppose a match object could have an extra attribute expressing the ‘match quality’; though in case of refined/range selectors we should figure out how to propagate this information. Prior art we could borrow from: - https://github.com/tilgovi/dom-anchor-text-quote (uses diff-match-patch) - https://github.com/robertknight/approx-string-match-js/ ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
