Diversity Scientific Terms

Scope of DiversityScientificTerms within the Diversity Workbench

DiversityScientificTerms is part of the database framework Diversity Workbench. Within this framework the application DiversityScientificTerms is confined to the management of scientific terms. Any module within the Diversity Workbench is focused on a specific data domain. DiversityScientificTerms keeps only data connected with the handling of scientific terms. Data of other realms are handled in separate modules. For an overview of the available modules see the image below. The current version relies on the service of DiversityAgents for explicit information of users etc., on DiversityProjects for further informations about terminologies and DiversityReferences for explicit information about references. DiversityCollection is dependent upon DiversityScientificTerms to characterize terms.

Despite the connections to other modules of the Diversity Workbench DiversityScientificTerms may be used as a stand-alone application.

Data Editing

Editing the data

The main form of DiversityScientificTerms contains two main areas. On the left you find the query and the results of this query. On the right part the details of a dataset selected in the result list is shown. The upper part of the data area shows the position of the current term within the hierarchy. In the lower part you find the fields for the details of a term. At the base of the window the properties, references and resources of a term are listed. 

For every term one representation can be set the preferred one, indicated by the icon. To make a representation the preferred representation, simply click on this icon.

 

Display settings for charts etc.

For display in an interface used from other modules like DiversityCollection, e.g. via a chart, a term may have a display order, a color for the background and an image.

The display order will be applied within the terms of the same hierarchy level and works top down, so the term with the lowest display order will be presented at the top of the list.

To set the display color, click on the set color button. A window will open where you can either select an available color or define a new one. The color will e.g. be used as background in a chart. If depending terms should use a color of the same hue, click on the button to activate the inheritance for the color. The button will change to . See chapter chart for details.

To set the display image for a term, click on the button. A window will open where you can search for the image that should be presented. In a chart, the size of the image will be scaled down to a maximal width of 100. To remove an image, use the button next to the image.

After editing the data, click on the button to save your data. To see the description of the fields, just move the mouse into it. A small window will appear, showing the description. To see the description of all fields turn to the description of thedatabase.

 

Copy data

To create a new term click on the button above the query list. A form as shown below will open where you can enter some basic informations for the new term.

 

To create a copy of a term, choose an entry in the query list and click on the button besides the hierarchy. A form as shown below will open providing you with the possibility to create a synonym, an inferior dataset or a copy on the same level in the hierarchy as the original dataset.

 

To create a synonym of a term, choose an entry in the query list and click on the button besides the hierarchy. This will create a synonym to the original dataset.

To make a term a synonym to another term, choose the term in the hierarchy and click on the button besides the hierarchy. This will open a window, where you can select the term to which the current term should become a synonym to.

To delete a dataset, select it an click on the button.

Subsections of Data Editing

Chart

The module DiversityScientificTerms provides other modules the option to query the terms on basis of a chart. These charts are created on basis of the selected terminology or sections and in case there are sections available To test the chart of the current terminology, select Test - Chart from the menu. In case there are sections a window will open where you choose the data you want to show in the chart. A window as shown below will open. To test the chart, select an entry and click OK. Video starten

Ranking terms resp. types

The chart is not available for ranking terms resp. types . 

Sections

Terminologies may contain sections. If no sections are available, only the whole terminology will be presented (see below). 

If the terminology contains sections, you can choose either the whole terminology or a section. If you choose a section only the terms within the section will be shown and the name of the section is shown in the header (see below). 

Images

Video starten

If a term has images, these images will be shown in the chart as shown below. The images will be shown according to the order set for the images. If a title for an image has been defined, this will be shown in the tool tip when you moove the mouse above the image. If no title has been defined either the synonyms the term will be shown or if no synonyms are defined the display text of the term. The width of the images is restricted to 100 pixel, larger images will be adapted accordingly. 

Colors

Video starten

Every term may have display color . Click on the set color button to select a color for the term. This color will  be shown as background for the term as shown below. If no color has been choosen, a greyscale value will be used as background as shown above.

If the terms depending on a term do not have a color of their own and the inheritance of the color is activated, a hue of the parent term will be used as shown in the image below. To activate the inheritance of the color, click on the button. It will change to and the color will be inherited to depending values as shown in the image below.

To select an item, click on it so the corresponding ID will appear in the box in the left upper corner. If there are synonyms available for a term these will be shown via a tooltip as shown below.

Files

The html files for the chart will be generated in the user directory as shown below. The file …_ChartSelect.html is the main file. the other files like e.g. …_ChartSelect_71_76.html are depending files that contain the items with the parent ID 71. These files will be removed when you close the chart.

The html files and the chart are adapted to the width of the window of your application, so if you change the width of your main window, the files will be regenerated to ensure that the displayed columns fit into the available space. In the examples below, the chart has been selected with two different widths that result in a regeneration of the files.

The html file below has been generated with a reduced with of the window with the links to subpages starting on a higher level. The fields with a colored background let you select the displayed items while the fields with a link lead you to a subpage containing depending items (e.g. Coastal dune and sand habitatas in the example below).

A field with a link will lead you to a subpage as shown below. The link at the top of the subpage will lead you back to the page where you came from (← Coastal habitatas in the example below).

 

Dependency

Video starten

The terms of a certain type/ranking may be dependent on terms that are no types/ranking, e.g. terms of the type Zement may only be available for terms underneath the term Sedimentgestein which itself is of the type Gestein. Clients that want to use any term of a dependent type (e.g. Zement) must therefore first insert a term of the type of these terms depend on (e.g. Sedimentgestein) or underneath in the hierarchy (e.g. Kalkgestein). The clients afterwards will contact the database including the information of the first term (e.g. Kalkgestein) and will in return get a list of all terms of which the type (e.g. Zement) is defined as dependent on the first term (e.g. Kalkgestein) resp. a parent of this term (e.g. Sedimentgestein). The image below shows the relationships in an example.  

To define dependencies, change to Ranking terms (in the menu click on Ranking terms to switch to the administration of the types resp. ranking terms (see image below)). This part is only accessible for users in the group Editor or above.

Hierarchy

The upper part of the form shows the term in the hierarchical relation. To insert a relation to a broader term, click no the button. In the window that will open, select the broader term from the list and click OK. To remove the relation to a broader term, click on the button. The image below summarizes the options to depict the relations in the hierarchy.

 

The default view of the hierarchy is shown below.

 

If you want to see the synonyms, click on the button. The button will change to   and the hierarchy will show the synonyms with the indaction of the language. Synonyms of the current term will have a pink backgroud.

 

If you restrict the output in the hierarchy to a certain language, only one language will be shown in the hierarchy as shown below.

 

In the image above the hierarchy is restricted to the superior terms. If you want to see the whole hierarchy click on the button. It will change to and all terms will be shown. To return to the previous view, just click the button again.

 

 

A cached value of the hierarchy is stored in two fields (downward and upward) for every term. These entries are needed e.g. for queries where the whole hierarchy is used instead of the term itself. The hierarchies are build using the preferred terms (see Editing thedata ).

 

History

To inspect the history of a dataset click on the button. A form will open, showing all former states of the data in the tables with the current dataset at the top.

 

Language

To edit the language list available for the selection of the synonyms, choose Administration - Language from the menu. In the window that will appear, you can enanble or disable certain languages (see  below). With a click on the Disable languages that are not used button, you can disable all languages that are not used for synonyms so far, which will shorten the list for selection in the main form..

Properties

The properties that can be asigned for a term might be defined under the terminology to which the term belongs. To insert a new property, open the form Terminology. You find the properties defined for a terminology in the base part of the form as shown below.

The properties that are defined in the terminology are then available for a term. Depending on the datatype set for a property in the terminology, you can either enter list, text, numeric or date values for a property of a term as in the example above numeric values for an age. For properties of the datatype list, an area for the entry of the dedicated (text) values will appear as shown below.

The values for a term will be restricted to the list of values (see below).

 

Ranking terms

Every term should be characterized by a ranking term or type. These ranking terms are edited in a separate list, not to be mixed up with the terms. To switch to the editing of the ranking terms, click on Ranking terms in the menu that will switch to Ranking terms and list the ranking terms (see image below).

If in the query for the terms Ranking has been selected as the display column, this will be changed to Display Text as Ranking is not available for Ranking terms. To edit the ranking terms / types a user needs to be in the group DiversityWorkbenchEditor or above. For the ranking terms, you can define a dependency from a term.

References

For every terminoloy and every term you can insert references.

There are 3 options to enter a reference:
1 as simple text
just enter the title of the reference in the text field as shown below
2 linked to a module like DiversityReferences or a webservice
Click on the  button to open a window where you can search and select for a reference in e.g. the module DiversityReferences. You need access to DiversityReferences or a corresponding webservice to use this option.
3 a URI of a website
click on the button to open a browser where you can choose the reference from the web

The data are stored in the tables TermReference and TerminologyReference respectively.

 

Resources

For every term you can insert resources, including informations about the creator, the license etc. (see image below). Use the and button to add or remove images. If an image should not be shown in an external user interface, e.g. in a chart in another modul like DiversityCollection, enter the reason in the  field. The image will change to  and the pink background will indicate the withholding of the image. The title will be shown as tooltip in a chart.

To see an image, click on the button. A window as shown below will open.

The data are stored in the tables TermResource.

 

Sections

Video starten

The sections that can be asigned for a term must be defined under the terminology to which the term belongs. To insert a new section, open the form Terminology. You find the sections defined for a terminology in the base part of the form as shown below.

The sections that are defined in the terminology are then available for a term. Choose the and button to add resp. remove a term from a section (see below). To Insert all Terms listed in the query results to a section, choose Data - Add to section from the menu.

 

Synonyms

Every term may have several synonmys. The preferred synonym, shown in picklists and the like is marked with a green icon. To make another synonym the preferred icon, click on the button. To make a term a synonym to another term, click on the button. In the window that will open, select the synonym from the list and click OK.

To create a synonym of a term, choose an entry in the query list and click on the button besides the hierarchy. A window as shown below will open. Enter the display text and choose the language of the new synonym. This will create a synonym to the original dataset.

To make a term a synonym to another term, choose the term in the hierarchy and click on the button besides the hierarchy. This will open a window, where you can select the term to which the current term should become a synonym to (see below).

If you want to see the synonyms in the Hierarchy, click on the button. The button will change to   and the hierarchy will show the synonyms with the indaction of the language. Synonyms of the current term will have a pink backgroud.

 

 

If there are several synonyms, the perferred term will be marked green while the other synonyms are marked pink. The current term will be marked yellow (see below).

 

 

Table Editors

For the data selected in the main window the table editors offer a direct access to the tables of the database. The menu Data - Table editors provide an editor for Term… , Representation… and Resource…

A window with the content of the table will open. Columns with a gray background can not be edited here. Columns with a light gray background are linked to the contents of lookup tables where you can change according to the contents of these tables.

Select Set timeout … from the menu to increase the default timeout from 5 seconds to a higher value, e.g. for greater amounts of data.  

Editing

You can either edit the contents of the table directly or perform changes to any number of marked fields. To mark a whole column use the  button. Once you have selected the contents to change, select one of the modes of change that appear in the upper left corner. The modes of change are:

  • Insert: Insert the given value at the beginning of the content
  • Append: Append the given value at the end of the content
  • Replace: Replace a string in the content with the given value
  • Clear: Remove the content

After selecting the change mode, enter the text in the field where necessary and click on the corresponding button to perform the changes

Filtering

To filter the content of the table, click in the column that should be used for filtering. Then choose the mode of comparision:

  • = : The content must be exactly like the given value
  • ~ : The content must contain the given value
  • ≠ : The content must be different to the given value

If you want the filtering to be case sensitive, choose the a<>A option. After all parameters are set, click on the button. To undo the filtering, click on the button. This will reset the data to the last saved version. If you want your changes to be saved, click the button before you reset the filtering. If you close the window all changes so far will be saved automatically. So if you do not want to save your changes, click on the button before closing the window.

Export

To export the data as a tab separated text file, click on the button. The file will be automatically saved in the client-folder.  

Log data

To see the log data of the table, you can click on the button. The content of the log table can not be changed, but is read only.  

Terminology

To edit the terminologies select Administration - Terminologies … from the menu.

 

A form as shown below will open. A terminology may optionally be linked to a project in DiversityProjects. Click on the button to get further informations about the project or directly access the module DiversityProjects. To remove the connection to DiversityProjects, click on the button.

 

After changes in the data, especially in the hierarchy, please use the button Refresh the cache entries for the hierarchy to update the hierarchy cache for the terms within the terminology. The hierarchies are build using the preferred terms (see Editing the data ). 

On the left the terminologies accessible for the user are listed, on the right you find the details. At the bottom of the window the properties, references and users with access to the selected terminology are listed. In the User tab, use the < and > buttons to decide if a user has access to a terminology. To add missing users use the  button. This functionallity is as well available under the Login Administration.
