Abstract:
The mineral extraction industries, including oil and gas extraction, use a series of equipment that requires several inspections before they are ready to be used. These inspections should only be carried by certified inspectors, since the equipment works under a lot of pressure and deals with toxic and dangerous materials for both human life and the environment, increasing the risk of accidents. In order to facilitate the search for qualified professionals with different certifying techniques, this article presents the construction of a RESTful API that implements a Web service for querying by inspectors, using textual similarity. The experiments included 48,374 inspectors, containing 74,134 certifications and 85,512 techniques. We evaluated the performance and quality of the system using a set of distinct similarity functions.
