Add Classes, Relations and Attributes to Your Custom Scheme

Abstract

Add Classes, Relations and Attributes to Your Custom Scheme

This section contains a short guide on how to add classes, relations and attributes to a custom scheme.

Custom schemes can be built or enriched by using classes, relations and attributes from imported ontologies.

  1. Open the Ontology Management by clicking its icon in the toolbar.

  2. Below the Ontologies node, select an ontology in one of the two nodes, Core Ontologies or Custom Ontologies.

  3. Expand the ontology and activate one of the three nodes below it, Classes, Relations or Attributes.

  4. In the Details View on the right, click the "+" icon next to a class, relation, or attribute, to open the scheme selection.

  5. Select an existing custom scheme from the drop-down menu to copy the class, relation, or attribute to that custom scheme.

  6. Click Save to confirm your changes.

Note

  • If you select a class defined as subclass, the respective parent classes will be added too.

  • If you select a relations or attribute defined as subproperty, the respective parent property will be added too.

  • For relations, the inverse relation will be copied, as well as the class/classes defined as domain or range restrictions.

  • The same holds true for attributes, the class/classes defined as domain restrictions will be copied.

Note

Classes, relations and attributes from imported ontologies can only be copied to already existing custom schemes. Building a custom scheme purely by reusing classes, relations and attributes from imported ontologies still requires that an empty custom scheme is defined before the first class, relation or attribute can be copied. See Create a Custom Scheme on how to create a Custom Scheme from scratch.
