Default or Preferred View Shape in EDG?

[Fan Li]

Suppose I have the following concept in my SKOS taxonomy and additionally it is defined as an instance of "Industry" in my custom ontology. Now the "Industry" view shape becomes the default view for the concept, even though within the taxonomy editor UI I am obviously more interested in the "Concept" view. Is there a way to customize this behavior in EDG? Thank you!

Hi Fan Li,

in the Ontology, try adding a triple skos:Concept dash:defaultViewForRole dash:all. This should prefer skos:Concept for all users.

Another, very different, solution is to make Industry a subclass of skos:Concept, if that makes sense for the ontology. Then you could delete the rdf:type skos:Concept triple.

Note that we have recently (for 6.4) added a "Merged View" that can be activated for all forms and will show a unified view across all applicable views. This may solve the usability issue as you could simply place the different property categories into different Property Groups yet have a single view.

Thanks, Holger! I was actually reading about " dash:defaultViewForRole"  in the datashape documentation but didn't know how to use it. Works like a charm.

Best Regards,

Fan
