      <baseAddresses>
        <add baseAddress="http://localhost:4701" />
      </baseAddresses>
    </host>
  3. If required, modify the value in the <baseAddress> element so that the host name is the machine name or IP address where the WAND Taxonomy Server is installed.

    For example:

    <host>
      <baseAddresses>
        <add baseAddress="http://wandserver.ibi.com:4701" />

Procedure: How to Update the WAND Sentiment Taxonomy

The Sentiment.artx file, which is located in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Applied Relevance\DocumentAnnotatorService\repository directory contains the Sentiment Taxonomy used for scoring textual data. As a Sentiment Taxonomy update or a localized Sentiment Taxonomy in a different language is made available, the Sentiment.artx file must be replaced with the updated version.

  1. Open the Services utility on Windows through the Control Panel and stop the AR Document Annotator service, as shown in the following image.

  2. Rename the Sentiment.artx file, which is located in the following directory:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Applied Relevance\DocumentAnnotatorService\repository

  3. Copy the new Sentiment Taxonomy to the following directory:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Applied Relevance\DocumentAnnotatorService\repository

    The following example shows the installation of a French Sentiment Taxonomy.

  4. Rename the updated Sentiment Taxonomy so that the file name is Sentiment.artx, as shown in the following image.
