      How do you find the correct words (entities) to explain an entity ?

      The words (entities) that go together within a sentence seem to be based on the specific corpus (the keyword you want to rank ) and when they are million of results it seems impossible to find what word / entity is going to explain the entity / concept I want to explain.

      It seems that I got a better chance at the lottery 🙂 a
      Do you have any advice or software that could parse and find the words that co-occure the most often out of millions of results !!

      Thank you,

        You're thinking along the right lines, especially focusing on corpus-based co-occurrences between words. The corpus isn't the keyword though, it's the body of text which you check the keyword against (and it has to be substantial to be accurate, in the Gigabyte range). I don't know of any pre-built software to assist you. You would have to develop scripting knowledge

          Good to know I am thinking along the right lines 🙂 The only thing I don't understand is what you mean by "The corpus isn't the keyword though, it's the body of text which you check the keyword against".

          My idea of for example is to take the word / entity "Petite France" and explain google which one I am talking about (as a human I am limited I only know of one but google has such a database that it knows many and unless I explain it, it doesn't know which one I am talking about, is that correct ?

          For google Petite France (according to Wikidata is a cheese is South Africa as well as area in Strasbourg (which is the one I want to talk about) etc... My question is how do explain the Petite France in Strasbourg, is is by using the word district nearby that entity... or if the word district isn't used in the corpus by the people that rank on the keyword I am going after it won't work ?

          Is that the idea ?

          Thank you,
