Autosuggest entries from a dataset

The /suggest Web Service for Economics can be integrated into a web application through Javascript functions on the web page level. This is demonstrated here on a simple HTML page. The example uses the YUI AutoComplete Widget, which can be easily combined with other javascript libraries. Please take a look at the Javascript source code embedded in this page.

Datasets:

  • stw - Standard-Thesaurus Wirtschaft, by ZBW (de/en)
  • jel - Journal of Economics Literature Classification, by AEA (en only)
  • econ_pnd - Personennamensdatei, by DNB (de only) - subset of about 128,000 economists (referenced in EconBiz dataset or with economics related professions), extracted from DNB 04/2011 download
    Quite slow and not very handy for large datasets - please check out /suggest2 (example here).
