CanonMap - A Python library for entity canonicalization and mapping with enhanced configuration and response models

CanonMap

CanonMap is a Python library for generating and managing canonical entity artifacts from various data sources. It provides a streamlined interface for processing data files and generating standardized artifacts that can be used for entity matching and data integration.

Features

• Flexible Input Support: Process data from:

  • CSV/JSON files
  • Directories of data files
  • Pandas DataFrames
  • Python dictionaries

• Artifact Generation:

  • Generate canonical entity lists
  • Create database schemas (supports multiple database types)
  • Generate semantic embeddings for entities
  • Clean and standardize field names
  • Process metadata fields

• Database Support:

  • DuckDB (default)
  • SQLite
  • BigQuery
  • MariaDB
  • MySQL
  • PostgreSQL

• Enhanced Configuration:

  • Separate configuration for artifacts and embeddings
  • Optional GCP integration with bucket management
  • Flexible sync strategies for cloud storage
  • Comprehensive error handling and logging
  • Local-only mode for development and testing

Installation

Lightweight Installation (Core Features Only)

pip install canonmap

Full Installation (Including Embedding Support)

pip install canonmap[embedding]

Note: The lightweight installation includes all core features (GCP integration, file processing, schema generation) but excludes embedding functionality. If you need semantic embeddings, use the full installation with [embedding] extras.

Quick Start

Local-Only Mode (Recommended for Development)

    CanonMap,
    CanonMapArtifactsConfig,
    CanonMapEmbeddingConfig,
    ArtifactGenerationRequest,
    EntityField,
    SemanticField

# Simple local-only configuration
artifacts_config = CanonMapArtifactsConfig(
    artifacts_local_path="./artifacts",
    gcs_config=None  # No GCS integration
)

embedding_config = CanonMapEmbeddingConfig(
    embedding_model_hf_name="sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L12-v2",
    embedding_model_local_path="./models/sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L12-v2",

# Access mapping results
print(f"Processed {resp.total_entities_processed} entities")
print(f"Found {resp.total_matches_found} matches")

for mapping in resp.mappings:
    print(f"\nEntity: {mapping.entity}")

• Multiple tables: {source}_semantic_texts.zip (combined)
• File naming: {table_name}_row_{row_index}_{field_name}.txt
• Content: Raw text content from the specified semantic fields
