Add Core Ontologies

Abstract

Add core Ontologies

This section contains a short guide on how to enable predefined ontologies in PoolParty.

PoolParty provides Available Core Ontologies that can be imported and used with a few mouse clicks.

Tip

In addition to the provided core ontologies, you have the option to import your own. For more information, refer to Import an Ontology or Custom Scheme.

  1. Open the Ontology Management.

  2. Click Enable Ontologies in the Ontologies' node Details View. Alternatively, you can right click the Core Ontologies node and select Enable Ontologies in the context menu.

  3. The Enable Ontologies dialogue opens.

  4. Activate the ontology you need.

  5. Click Import to enable the selected ontologies.

You can use these ontologies to Create a Custom Ontology and to Create a Custom Scheme based on them. Additionally, you can add classes, relations and attributes of such ontologies to Add Classes, Relations and Attributes to Your Custom Scheme. And you can reuse classes of such ontologies in your custom ontologies.

Note

Enabled, predefined ontologies can only be deleted as long as no custom scheme refers to them. Deleted ontologies can be re-enabled at any time.

A green Check Mark icon beside the ontology's name indicates that it has already been enabled.

PoolParty's Natural Language Processing Ontology

Abstract

PoolParty's Natural Language Processing Ontology

This section contains a description of PoolParty's Natural Language Ontology (NLP).

The NLP ontology in PoolParty is provided as a predefined ontology. It is a statistics ontology, which adds additional information to concepts and terms in connection with PoolParty's Word Sense Induction functionality. If you use it, PoolParty will add information to concepts during corpus analysis.

You have to enable the NLP ontology in PoolParty once, before you can use it.

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

  2. Click and expand the Ontologies node and below it the Core Ontologies node and scroll down in the list of ontologies. Select the NLP entry.

    • In the Details View on the right you find the sections providing information, such as the Title, Description and Languages sections. (3).

    • In the case of the NLP ontology you will find just one attribute below the Attributes node, when it is active (4). The property is called hasWordSense.

Note

In order to use this ontology, you have to create a custom scheme and then add the attribute to it.
