  1. Basics: Enter the Title of your PoolParty project and select Languages as well as a Default Language from a list of supported languages. Choose which User Groups have access to this PoolParty project.

  2. URI Generation Settings: Customize the URI of your PoolParty project. Visit our help page on URI pattern planning for more information.

  3. Project Options: Depending on access rights, you can enable the workflow and SKOS-XL functions for PoolParty. You can also enable them later via the Advanced menu.

    Choose which graph database you want to store your project on via the Store Project On drop-down menu. You can select Local Store. or any external graphDB stores. Choosing an external database will set the Repository Type to Remote. If you selected Local Store, you can choose from the following list of repository types:

    • Embedded GraphDB: The Local Store default repository type. You need a valid license to use this option.

    • Local Native RDF4j: All data is directly written to and read from PoolParty's file system. This option should be used for projects that are static and unlikely to change, and on PoolParty servers that have little main memory assigned.

    • Local Memory RDF4j: All data is kept in PoolParty's server memory and synced to the file system regularly.

    Note

    If you have many projects using memory repositories, make sure your PoolParty server has enough memory.

    You can also change the Autosave interval or disable the autosave function if desired.Autosave Projects

    Caution

    If you disable snapshots for a project you cannot restore a project if the repository becomes corrupted or deleted.

  4. Quality Settings: The Active Scenario drop-down menu lets you define the quality settings for your project. They are used for generating quality reports but also determine what rules are used when generating content.

  5. Metadata: Define optional metadata information such as Subject, Description, and Creator of the project.
