Abstract
Techniques and constructs to facilitate semantic matching and automated annotation (SMA) of attributes can take entity names and a keyword describing an attribute associated with the named entities as input and leverage a corpus of data such as data from tables, which can include HTML web tables, to automatically populate values associated with the named entities for the attribute. The constructs enable accurate SMA of attributes, such as attributes that relate to the entity and include numeric values in a different unit than the query, in a different scale than the query, and/or reflecting a time different from that of the query. An entity augmentation application programming interface (API) may be used to accept queries that include numeric criteria, parameters, or arguments, including query attributes represented by numeric values, which may be in different units or scales, and attributes represented by numeric values that can vary by time.
