Uses a caching mechanism for subjects items (QIDs) to ensure efficiency.
The cache gets updated in 2 different ways:
- dataset-specific, in case of an operation on the Ingestion API, e.g., when a new dataset is uploaded;
- database-wide, runs with a fixed schedule.
N.B.: the database-wide update is not bound to the Curation API, as it would heavily affect approval/rejection of statements. This means that the cache is not 100% accurate.
