Is lookup strict?

[cbizon]

When a TRAPI query comes into an ARA or KP, what is that tool allowed to do?

Some tools treat this as a database lookup - you have it or you don't, and you return exactly what is asked for.

Other tools consider the query a suggestion and expand or conflate entities, combine results, etc.

Is this flexibility desired? Can we manage it, perhaps using operations or query options?

I would argue that the better KPs get, the better they will be at expanding, conflating, combining in advance, so yes, I would say this flexibility is desired. But it needs to be transparent, too, since it expands our EPC problem: *Source X0 found query Q0 with Y0 attributes, but also source X1 found Q1 by conflation mapping C1 using element E1, and source X2 found Q2 by similarity to Q0 using similarity measure S2.*
