Available Fields
  • Base URI* (mandatory)

    Enter the URI pattern that should be used for resources you create later using the editor itself.

    Note

    The BaseURI you enter here, will be the name of the graph PoolParty will then create on the external graph database for all data you create using the graph editor. Therefore the name should be unique.

  • Resource SeparatorThe URI's elements can be separated either by a slash or a hash. Slash is recommended, so far the hashes inside URIs have been known to cause problems with some parsers yet.

  • Method The method used to create URIs. The following are available:

    • INCREMENT: the base URI you configured will automatically be incremented for resources starting at the place defined in the Increment At field.

    • UUID: resources will be identified by a 'Universal Unique Identifier' (UUID).

    • MANUAL: this means that you would set each URI manually

  • Increment At (Only visible if you selected INCREMENT as method.)

    Enter a number used as starting point for the incrementation of URIs.

  • Sample

    Once you have entered a URI into theBase URIfield, a sample will be displayed here.
