Linking PoolParty Projects

Abstract

Linking PoolParty Projects

The creation and management of controlled vocabularies in companies or organizations often take place in a distributed manner.

Under certain circumstances, it might be more appropriate to have several vocabularies holding different information for different purposes (technical, marketing) or domains in several projects instead of managing them in one central knowledge model.

Dealing with several decentralized vocabularies will also lead to different representations and contextualizations of the same concepts in different vocabularies. Project linking allows organizations to manage vocabularies in multiple projects in PoolParty. The projects can correspond, for example, to departmental structures or different domains (technical vs. marketing). The links connect concepts that represent different aspects of those concepts and keep the different parts integrated.

Use PoolParty's linking project feature to create links between matching concepts in different vocabularies.

Note

Project linking is a two step process of (1) linking projects at the project level and (2) linking individual concepts between each project.
