Migrating enrichments from Watson Explorer

If you have resources from IBM Watson Explorer, some of them can be migrated to IBM Watson® Discovery.

Types of resources that can be migrated

The following types of resources can be migrated from Watson Explorer to Discovery:

To analyze data with these migrated enrichments, you can use a Content Mining project. The tools in the associated Content Mining application are similar to tools that are available in Watson Explorer.

  • For more information about how to create a Content Mining project, see Creating projects.
  • For more information about how to apply enrichments to a collection in the Content Mining application, see Applying the annotator.

Importing dictionaries from Watson Explorer Analytical Components

Importing facets from Watson Explorer Content Analytics Studio IBM Cloud Pak for Data

You can import a PEAR file to use as the machine learning source file from IBM Cloud Pak for Data deployments only.

You can show Content Analytics Studio facets in the Content Mining application. Only facets with a UIMA Feature of type Literal Value are displayed.

For more information about how to import Content Analytics Studio machine learning models for use in other project types, see Use imported ML models to find custom terms.

  1. From the Watson Explorer Content Analytics Studio, export the machine learning model that defines the facets that you want to use. The model file must have a .pear extension.

  2. In the export configuration, remove the facet path, but keep the subfacet value. Set the Index Field name to the Facet Tree Path in Content Analytics Studio.
