Ontology - Referenced Ontologies
Intended audience: ANALYSTS DEVELOPERS ADMINISTRATORS
AO Platform: 4.3
Overview
The Referenced Ontology page allows solution developers to add ontologies that can be referenced and from which MSOs and Quick Insights can be accessed and utilized within the current ontology.
MSOs tab
This tab allows users to select all or specific MSOs to be passed through from a Referenced Ontology to the current ontology. In other words, MSOs from a Referenced Ontology are inherited and made available in the current ontology to avoid duplication and improve maintainability where a common Referenced Ontology is to be used across multiple ontologies.

Properties
Label | UI Widget | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|
MSOs | |||
| ON/OFF Toggle | ON | If enabled, all MSOs from the referenced ontology are transferred to the current ontology. If disabled, it allows users to select specific MSOs individually. |
| Dropdown | The Selected Pass-Through dropdown field allows users to select one or more MSOs from the referenced ontology to integrate into the current ontology. |
Quick Insights
This tab allows users to select all or specific Quick Insights to be passed through from a Referenced Ontology to the current ontology. In other words, MSOs from a Referenced Ontology are inherited and made available in the current ontology to avoid duplication and improve maintainability where a common Referenced Ontology is to be used across multiple ontologies. In addition to selecting which Quick Insights shall be inherited from the Referenced Ontology/ies, users also need to specify the Role of users for the following downstream Quick Insights generation and display options:
Role Used to Generate Insights
Recipient Roles for Generated Insights
Display in Focused Tab for Roles
Finally, for individual Quick Insights, the user can create a Schedule for generating the Quick Insights.
