-------------------------------------
Hi @Srikanth Venkat,
Thankyou for your questions. to answer them.
1) By taxonomy, I meant the "specific node", i.e, the entity of type taxonomy,
which is a vertex ion in the graph.
2) I have looked into this question while looking at how this might at version
2. The way I coded this was that a term could be owned by one category, it
seems to me that we do not need one owning category, so we should allow terms
to existing may categories and categories to have many terms. This proposal is
to enhance V1 to use terms as they are today, The V2 implementation of Glossary
will suggest improvements to terms as well.
3) No, because terms can exist without a category.
4) This fix was a minimal change to the existing function to introduce
categories at V1. My efforts are currently focused on creating a V2 glossary
design doc; as part of that the terms could have many relationships (not just
inheritance). Understanding the user experience would be required for a
intuitivel UI, but a quick develper UI prototype would be to add a radio button
to say whether you are adding a category or a term when you press the + button,
the category would then add to the selected category in the tree. A term could
be dragged into a category. Or right clicked and removed from a category. Is
this description sufficient ?
many thanks, David
