For completeness, we should support indexers, data sources, and skillsets.
It would be nice if these could be wired in via Aspire to pull data from other resources automatically.
i.e.: (note: this example is likely incomplete or incorrect; it's just a sketch)
var ai = // some AI resource for OCR
var search = builder.AddAzureSearchEmulator("search")
.WithIndexesVolume();
var blobDataSource = search.WithBlobDataSource("blobs", myBlobContainerResource);
var blobSkillset = search.WithSkillset("pdfimport", ai)
.WithOcrSkill("ocr", config =>
config.WithInput("image", "/document/normalized_images/*")
.WithOutput("text", "ocrText"))
.WithMergeSkill("merge", config =>
config.WithInput("text", "/document/content")
.WithInput("itemsToInsert", "/document/normalized_images/*/ocrText")
.WithInput("offsets", "/document/normalized_images/*/contentOffset")
.WithOutput("mergedText"))
.WithLanguageDetectionSkill("detect-language", config =>
config.WithInput("text", "/document/mergedText")
.WithOutput("languageCode"))
.WithTranslationSkill("translate", "en", config =>
config.WithInput("text", "/document/mergedText")
.WithInput("fromLanguageCode", "/document/languageCode")
.WithOutput("translatedText"));
var index = search.WithIndex("files")
.WithFieldsFromType<DocumentFile>()
.WithIndexer("blobindexer", blobDataSource, blobSkillset, config =>
config.WithOutputFieldMapping("/document/mergedText", "originalText")
.WithOutputFieldMapping("/document/translatedText", "englishText")
.WithOutputFieldMapping("/document/languageCode", "detectedLanguage"));
Note that we can do some of the built-in Azure skills ourselves without Foundry/AI integration via my NOpenNLP port of OpenNLP:
- Entity Recognition
- Language Detection
- Sentiment
At a minimum this could avoid the need for AI for local use if you only need these skills. But that's probably rare; most users would need to plug into some kind of AI model (and it would be nice if we could support local ollama as well).
Note that Indexers/Data sources don't implicitly require a skillset, so you should be able to use those to do text ingestion without AI.
