Glossary
This glossary contains PoolParty specific terms.
- Core Ontology (Predefined ontology)
It is a standard ontology and they are predefined. You can't edit them. In this they differ from a custom ontology. A core ontology has a set of classes, relations and attributes for a specific domain. You can use them on their own or as part of a new custom ontology.
- Custom Ontology (ontology)
A custom ontology is the conceptual representation of the concepts, their attributes and the relations between them in PoolParty. It also defines the underlying data model for a PoolParty project. This is where to organise your data, to improve the search and to integrate this data. To apply this data model to a PoolParty thesaurus, you need to create a custom scheme based on your custom ontology or a predefined ontology and synchronize it.
- Custom scheme (scheme)
A custom scheme is a container that holds one custom ontology or a predefined ontology. A custom scheme can have elements from different ontologies where these ontology elements can be brought together and applied to your PoolParty data.
- Domain and Range ()
It represents the subject and the data type of a triple.
- Group (PoolParty)
It is a set of users who share a common purpose.
- Ontology (Custom ontology, scheme, custom scheme)
It is where you refine your existing data model using the OWL (Web Ontology Language).
- Project (Taxonomy, Thesaurus)
It is a PoolParty container that could have taxonomies, thesauri, ontologies and any other project related information.
