Mondigy is a small library for using a Mongodb database as a data loader for Prodigy annotation applications.

Prodigy naviely supports loading text data from files and dataset objects, but annotating data that is stored in a MongoDB database is not natively supported.

With mondigy you can annotate data from a MongoDB collection and store your annotations in a MongoDB database.

• Annotate text data from MongoDB
• Pipe data directly from your MongoDB database to your Prodigy application

Mondigy can be installed via pip install mondigy or by cloning this repo and running python setup.py in the project root.

Mondigy will set up the collections it requires in your mongo database. They are named with a _p.<collection_name>convention. Don't delete these collections or manually edit any of the documents in them.

To set up mondigy, just enter your MongoDB connection info into your prodigy.json config file, which is found in your PRODIGY_HOME directory. The source database and annotations database (where your completed annotations are stored by Prodigy) can be configured independently or the same database can be specified for both if you want everything in the same db. See example_config/prodigy.json for an example config file.

Let's define a db connection and start annotating data from our MongoDB database!

Step 1. Add configuration parameters to prodigy.json in your PRODIGY_HOME directory. For this example, we'll be limiting our annotations to the 1000 entries that are in_stock from the products collection of our database. We'll also include the product name and product id in the data returned to Prodigy so we can include that information in a custom view. .

  "db": "mondigy.db",
  "db_settings": {
    "mongodb": {
      "source_db": {
        "host": "my.database.com",
        "user": "mongo_user",
        "password": "mongo_pass",
        "database": "my_db",
        "auth_source": "admin",
        "collection": "products",
        "text_field": "description",
        "other_fields": ["product_name", "product_id"],
        "query": {"in_stock": true},
        "limit": 1000
      },
      "annotations_db": {
        "host": "my.database.com",
        "user": "mongo_user",
        "password": "mongo_pass",
        "database": "my_db",
        "auth_source": "admin",
      }
    }
  },
  ...
}

Step 2. Start your Prodigy server and let mondigy point your MongoDB collection at it by supplying the paths of your config file and the Mondigy loader.

Step 3. Annotate!
