Considerations When Creating a User Dictionary

The following are some considerations for when creating a user dictionary:

• Entity mentions are case-sensitive. They cannot contain any null characters.

• Entity type names are case-insensitive. They cannot contain any null or comma characters.

• Customers will be able to assign two or more entity types to a single entity mention. For example, the entity “Washington” could be assigned the type “CITY” and also the type “STATE”.

• The content of a user’s dictionary is invisible to other users.

• The maximum byte length of an entity mention is 512 bytes by the server-side database character set.

• The maximum byte length of an entity type name is 30 bytes by the server-side database character set.
