An essential goal of OntoRail is to facilitate the establishment of relations between concepts in the aggregated ontology in order to foster digital continuity between models. To serve that need, the following functionalities are supported:
- create a relation between two concepts,
- search / filter existing relations,
- edit / delete an existing relation.
Establish a relation
OntoRail enables the establishment of relations between two concepts present in the aggregated ontology through a predicate chosen amongst a controlled vocabulary. This functionality calls on three individual windows to function:
- the main page of the OntoRail web application
- two Tree Browser windows, i.e. one window per concept.
Search / filter relations
Existing relations can be searched / filtered (for example to identify whether a given concept has already been studied before) and the search can be restricted to a subset of the source models for convenience.
Edit / delete relations
An existing relation can be edited, for example to re-qualify the relation (i.e. the predicate) or to change its status (for example from Under Review to Accepted).
