Insert Custom Relations and Attributes

This section contains a short guide on how to use custom relations and attributes for individual concepts or concept schemes.

In a selected custom scheme tab you can define attributes and relations, similar to working in the SKOS tab.

How to Add a Custom Attribute

You can insert Attribute values in the green sections column on the right. The screenshot below shows how to add an image URI to a top-concept:

  1. Click the Add icon. The Add URI dialogue opens. Enter the URI for the desired image into the URI field.

  2. Click Save to confirm your changes.

Note

For all values an import validation is in place that allows to only add values in the correct format. For date and date/time attributes a calendar widget is provided.

How to Add a Custom Relation

You can insert Relations in the blue sections column on the left.

You can add relations via drag and drop or autocomplete.

In the example below you can see the insertion of a relation per drag and drop:

  1. Here the Domain of the relation is 'Aperitif and digestif', so it is active in the tree. The Range of this relation is the concept 'Fruit'.

  2. Click the concept and drag and drop it onto the relation of the active custom scheme tab, 'consists of', in this example.

Note

When you create relations, domain and range restrictions defined for the custom scheme are taken into account.

Using the custom scheme tab you can only create custom relations within one project. If you want to create custom relations between projects you can do that by using project linking.

For a programmatic approach you can use the PoolParty API callsWeb Service Method: Add Custom AttributeandWeb Service Method: Add a Custom Relation to a Resource.
