Edit Vocabulary
To edit an
existing
Vocabulary, highlight it and click the
ConceptChoir's vocabulary edit menu using tab panel design further categorizes the settings into six department: General Information, Value List, Lookup Table, User Relation, Stopword, and UI. General Information General Information section (Figure 2 above) is the default section to display when you open the vocabulary edit window. You can adjust the vocabulary Code, Name and whether or not this vocabulary would allow duplicate terms, as well as vocabulary note and supported languages here. However, the Default Language filed and Include options are on read only mode. Those values need to be set during the vocabulary creation phase. Value List Value List section (Figure 3) enables you to add new value list, to edit and/or delete existing value list, and to set values of input data. A value list is an attribute or a field that only allow a few preset values. If a field or an attribute is defined to be a Value List type, users can only select values based on the provided options. By using value lists, you can minimize user input errors for certain fields and accelerate the editing process speed.
To
create a new Value List, click
button to open new Value List Definition window shown in Figure
4. Just as when creating vocabularies, you can either create a blank
Value List, or reference templates from either predefined Value List
template, or from Value List you created for existing vocabularies.
After
specify the Code, Name, Note, and Sort by fields, click OK
button to create the Value List and close Vocabulary Definition
Window. Click the Cancel button to cancel
any pending changes and close the window.
To edit
a Value List, highlight it from the list, and Click
button to open edit Value List Definition window shown in Figure
5.
When
you finish updating values for the editing Value List, click OK
button to save the changes and close Value List Definition
Window. Click the Cancel button to cancel
any pending changes and close the window.
To
delete a Value List, highlight it from the list, and Click
button to delete the chosen Value List. The system will prompt
for a confirmation. The process may be repeated until no Value
List remains. If a value list is deleted, all associated User
Relation of this value list will also be deleted.
To
set Input Data for a Value List, first highlight it from the
list and then click
button to open the Input Data window as shown in
Figure 6.
Click the gray plus sign to add new record of Input Data, or the gray minus sign to delete the record. If more than one languages are defined in this vocabulary, you can click the blue plus sign to add values for other supported languages. Similarly, the blue minus sign will delete values for other supported languages. Once all values are set, you can click OK button to keep the changes you made and close the Input Data Definition window. Click Cancel button to cancel any pending changes and close the window. Lookup Table Lookup Table section (Figure 7) enables you to add new Lookup Table, to edit and/or delete existing Lookup Table , and to set values of input data for Lookup Tables. A lookup table can be considered as a large value list. It servers the same purpose as value list does, but instead of only a few selected value allowed from value list, the number of preset values for a lookup table has no limits. If a field or an attribute is defined to be a Lookup Table type, users can only select values based on the provided options. By using lookup tables, you can minimize user input errors for certain fields and accelerate the editing process speed.
To
create a new Lookup Table, click
button to open new Lookup Table Definition window shown in
Figure 8. Similar to creating vocabulary and Value List, you can
either create a blank Lookup Table, or create a Lookup Table
referencing templates from either predefined Lookup Table
template, or from Lookup Tables you previously created for
existing vocabularies.
After
specify the Code, Name, and Note, you need to specify Lookup
Table fields. Click the plus sign to add a field, or a minus
sign to delete one. You will find a lot of similarities
between editing Lookup Table Field information and designing a
database field definition. You need to specify the field name, data
type, data length, and also indicate if the field is mandatory. The
button will bring out a window that allow you to choose
which field to sort by what order (Figure 9).
To edit a Lookup Table, highlight it from the list, and Click
button to open edit Lookup Table Definition window shown in
Figure 10.
Editing Lookup Table is similar to creating one, except the
created field type can not be modified. If you need to change
the Data Type on any given fields, you have to delete the field
and recreate one. When
you finish updating values for the editing Lookup Table, click OK
button to save the changes and close Lookup Table Definition
Window. Click the Cancel button to cancel
any pending changes and close the window.
To
delete a Lookup Table, highlight it from the list, and Click
button to delete the chosen Lookup Table. The system will
prompt for a confirmation. The process may be repeated until
no Lookup Table remains. If a lookup table is deleted, all
associated User Relation of this lookup table will also be deleted.To set Input Data for a Lookup Table, first highlight it from the list and then click
button to open the Input Data Definition window as shown in
Figure 11.
Click the gray plus sign to add new Input Data, or the gray
minus sign to delete the Input Data. If more than one
languages are defined in this vocabulary, you can click the
blue plus sign to add values for other supported languages.
Similarly, the blue minus sign will delete values for other
supported languages. Once all values are set, you can click
OK button to keep the changes you made and close the
Input Data Definition window. Click Cancel button to cancel
any pending changes and close the window.
To set
Related Concept Map, first highlight Related Concept Type from the
Lookup Table List. After the Related Concept Type is highlighted,
button will display. Click the button to open the Related
Concept Map window as shown in
Figure 12.
When two Related Concept Types are related to each other,
such as "Teacher or" and "Student of", you can set the
relation map in the Related Concept Map window. First
highlight a Relation Type from one side, and then highlight
its related Relation Type from the other side. Once both
Relation Type are selected, click
User Relation User Relation section (Figure 13) enables you to add new user relation, to edit and/or delete existing user relation.
To
create a new User Relation, click
button to open new User Relation Definition window shown in
Figure 14. Just as when creating vocabularies, Value List, and
Lookup Table, you can either create a blank User Relation, or
create a User Relation referencing templates from either
predefined User Relation template, or from User Relations you
previously created for existing vocabularies.
The
template of settings up a User Relation are almost the same
to the template for Lookup Table except for two key items:
Broader Item of this User Relation, and Relation Type. There
are current five predefined "Related To" Item available to have
User Relation attachments as the Figure above suggests. You
need to set which related to Item this User Relation is going
to attach on. Also, you need to specify the relation type by
selecting one of the options under Relation Type category.
"One to many" is the default Relation Type. If a relation is
defined to be "One to many" type, the relation can be referenced
more than once by concepts. If a relation is defined to be "One to
one", then the relation can only be uniquely referenced. Selecting
the checkbox in front of the "Language-sensitive" indicates that the
relation is only applied to a specified language. After specify all the necessary values, click OK button to
create the User Relation and close User Relation Definition
Window. Click the Cancel button to cancel
any pending changes and close the window.
To edit
a User Relation, highlight it from the list, and Click
button to open edit User Relation Definition window shown in
Figure 15.
Similar to editing the Lookup Table, Data Type, Authority List
Type and Authority List if defined are in read only mood. To
modify those values, you need to delete the field and then
recreate one. When
you finish updating values for the editing User Relation, click OK
button to save the changes and close User Relation Definition
Window. Click the Cancel button to cancel
any pending changes and close the window.
To
delete a User Relation, highlight it from the list, and
Click
button to delete the chosen User Relation. The system will
prompt for a confirmation. The process may be repeated until
no Value List remains.
Stopword section (Figure 16) enables you to add, edit, delete Stopword for the vocabulary. You can add a stopword by clicking on the plus sign, or delete a stropword by clicking on the minus sign after the word that you want to delete. If more than one languages are supposed, you can use the Language dropdown list to select one supported language and setup stopwords in this language and repeat for other languages. Click OK button to save all the changes you have made.
