Re: [topbraid-users] EVN and Value Sets

[Scott Henninger]

Snoose; The best advice we can give is to view your "value sets" as classes, with instances defining the set.  This is fully supported by the current version of EVN and will be improved in future version of EVN that will enable the display of non-SKOS classes. In the current version of EVN (4.1 and 4.2 beta) open EVN and click on the hierarchy icon in the upper-right of the Concept Hierarchy.  This will get you to the Concept Types Hierarchy, which is currently all subclasses of skos:Concept, and you can create new instances of the class with the "Create Concept/Instance" button on the lower-left of the hierarchy window. Note that any property whose range is your value set class will appear in the edit view automatically. To view all instances of the class (value set), open search (vertical Search to the right in EVN), choose the class and click on Search.  This will get you all instances of that class and you can include search criteria to narrow this down. HTH, and if you have further questions, please let us know here or on composersupp...@topquadrant.com. -- Scott On 3/21/2013 10:15 AM, sno...@gmail.com wrote: Scott, Thanks for your response. I am trying to identify phenotypes of people based on if they have a concept from a set associated with them. For example lets look at the food ontology in the Examples packed with TBC. Let's say we create a value set named 'Non-vegetarian' consisting of the concepts: food:DarkMeatFowlCourse food:LightMeatFowlCourse food:NonSpicyRedMeatCourse food:RedMeatCourse food:SpicyRedMeatCourse Now we can find people that are not a vegetarians if they have eaten a concept from the 'Non-vegetarian' value set. Let's create another value set named 'Bird Eater' consisting of: food:DarkMeatFowlCourse food:LightMeatFowlCourse food:PenguinCourse (needed another example) Using the 'Bird Eater' we can find people that eat birds. Note that the concepts can belong to multiple value sets. We can also perform set operations to find more complex phenotypes: The union of 'Non-vegetarian' and 'Bird Eaters' = food:DarkMeatFowlCourse food:LightMeatFowlCourse food:NonSpicyRedMeatCourse food:RedMeatCourse food:SpicyRedMeatCourse food:PenguinCourse The intersection of 'Non-vegetarian' and 'Bird Eaters' = food:DarkMeatFowlCourse food:LightMeatFowlCourse I hope this makes sense. The TopBraid tools and SKOS is new to me so I will dig into them further to see if I can better understand the proposals you mentioned. -Dale On Wednesday, March 20, 2013 6:48:49 PM UTC-5, Scott Henninger wrote: Snoose; This depends on what you mean by a "value set".  In general, one could define a set of concept schemes, each of which consists of a vocabulary - a SKOS hierarchy of terms being part of this.  Another way to do this could be to define a set of named graphs in TBC and use owl:imports to bring everything in, using skos:Concept as the root class, if a class view is what you need. So there are lots of possibilities, and it all depends on what you mean by a "value set" and for what purposes it would be used.   -- Scott On 3/20/2013 4:47 PM, sno...@gmail.com wrote: Is it possible to use EVN to manage value sets? -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Group "TopBraid Suite Users", the topics of which include Enterprise Vocabulary Network (EVN), TopBraid Composer, TopBraid Live, TopBraid Ensemble, SPARQLMotion, SPARQL Web Pages and SPIN.
