titleWhat is a Lingo field?

So what exactly is a Lingo field?

We use SOLR to index data, and SOLR requires that all the data are stored in defined fields. These fields can contain either normal text, date and time data, geographical positions or a whole range of other data types/content. For instance, the actual text of an indexed document is stored in a field called document_text.

When Supervisor/Insight is installed, we run the content of the document text through a wide range of linguistic text filters and rules to extract information that pertains to personally identifiable information or text that matches other identifiable information. This ranges from names, addresses, social security numbers, bank account numbers, city names etc.

A Lingo field is then basically a storage location in SOLR for a specific set of data we want to identify and report on.
