The Attribute Configuration JSON Object

The JSON key:value pairs that describe the configuration settings for a dataset attribute.

The attributes in a unified dataset have configuration settings that indicate how the project's machine learning model acts on its data values.

The JSON object provides data about an attribute's configuration:

KEY

Value Description

Type

id

The deployment-specific ID of the attribute configuration returned. Unique across the entire deployment of Tamr.

Example:
unify://unified-data/v1/projects/5/attributeConfigurations/57

To identify an attribute configuration in other API calls, you use the numeric value after attributeConfigurations/.

String

relativeId

The relative ID of the attribute configuration returned, stripped of the instance name.

To identify the configuration in other API calls, you use the numeric value after attributeConfigurations/.

String

relativeAttributeId

The relative ID of the unified dataset attribute to which the configuration applies.

String

attributeRole

Optional. The specific role, if any, of the attribute in the project. Possible values are:

Each specific role can only apply to a single attribute in a unified dataset. The default is no specific role.

String

similarityFunction

The similarity function to use for the unified dataset attribute. Possible values are:

  • COSINE
  • JACCARD
  • ABSOLUTE_DIFF
  • RELATIVE_DIFF

Additional values apply to geospatial attributes.

String

enabledForML

Whether the unified dataset attribute is being included in machine learning operations.

Boolean

tokenizer

The tokenizer used for tokenizing text values. Possible values are:

  • DEFAULT
  • STEMMING_EN
  • BIGRAM
  • TRIGRAM
  • BI-WORD
  • REGEX

Either this field or numericFieldResolution can be specified, but not both.

String
numericFieldResolutionIndicates how to process numeric values. Either this field or tokenizer can be specified, but not both.Array[int]
attributeNameThe user-defined name of the attribute.String

An example follows:

{
    "id": "unify://unified-data/v1/projects/5/attributeConfigurations/76",
    "relativeId": "projects/5/attributeConfigurations/76",
    "relativeAttributeId": "datasets/111/attributes/spend",
    "attributeRole": "SUM_ATTRIBUTE",
    "similarityFunction": "COSINE",
    "enabledForMl": false,
    "tokenizer": "DEFAULT",
    "numericFieldResolution": [],
    "attributeName": "spend"
  }
