CREATE ONTOLOGY¶
Creates a new ontology record owned by the active user, or updates an existing one, persisting name, description, tags, data payload, graph structure, and runtime options. Supply ontology_id to trigger an update of an existing record; omit it to create a new one (in which case name is required).
When to use¶
Tagged: create, graph, ontology, platform, rdf, update, upsert.
Inputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Default | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ontology | ontology_id | remote_lookup | — | Integer ID of an existing ontology record to update; leave blank to create a new ontology. | |
| Ontology Name | name | text | — | ✓ | Human-readable name for the ontology (e.g. ‘CrashDomain v2’); required when creating a new record, optional when updating. |
| Description | description | textarea | — | Free-text description of the ontology’s purpose and scope; optional but recommended for discoverability. | |
| Tags | tags | text | — | Comma-separated string or JSON array of keyword tags used to categorise and search the ontology (e.g. ‘crash,material,v2’). | |
| Data | data | dataset | — | Arbitrary dataset payload to store with the ontology, such as lookup tables or structured concept definitions; leave blank if not needed. | |
| Graph | graph | dataset | — | Dataset representing the ontology graph as nodes and edges (e.g. RDF triples or adjacency records); leave blank if no graph structure is required. | |
| Options | options | dataset | — | Dataset of rendering or runtime configuration options for the ontology viewer/engine; leave blank to accept platform defaults. | |
| Project | project_id | remote_lookup | — | ID of the d3VIEW project to associate this ontology with; leave blank to create the ontology without a project association. |
Outputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ontology ID | ontology_id | integer | Integer primary key of the created or updated ontology record; use this ID to reference the ontology in downstream workers. |
| Status | status | string | Human-readable confirmation string indicating the operation performed, e.g. ‘Created ontology 42’ or ‘Updated ontology 42’. |
