Auto/increment

[Maja Kiszka]

Hi,

 

Perhaps someone could help regarding the auto-increment functionality.

My goal is to create URI for each new object that consists of two parts:

1. The class name – CL
2. And the autoincremented number

So the example of an URI would be CL10001. In Manage tab in the Data Graph I am selecting URI Class prefix – name to satisfy point 1, and  then I define the counter to satisfy point 2.

 

However, when I am adding new instance to the graph EDG adds a dash in between CL and a number, resulting in following URI CL-10001, which is not what I want.

How can I prevent EDG from adding this unnecessary dash, so that the URI’s of the objects I create have the following URI CL10001, and not CL-10001?

Attached, you will find print screen from the settings.

 

All the best

Maja

Maja,

We don't currently allow you to set the 'Prefix separator' to an empty string via the UI, but it can be done behind the scenes via SPARQL, which will ultimately get you the URIs you're looking for.


First, enable sparql updates on the EDG Server Administration page:

Next, go to <serverName>/edg/tbl/sparql, and run this query:

 INSERT {
  GRAPH <urn:x-evn-master:b.tch> {
<urn:x-evn-master:b.tch> <http://topbraid.org/teamwork#uriPrefixSeparator> ""
}
}WHERE  {  

}
And execute it, making sure to change the urn to point the .tch graph you're working with.  You should see this:

You can confirm the insert went OK by exporting the .tch graph from the Base URI Management page:

If this works correctly, you should then be getting the result you're looking for when creating a new resource:

I'll see about adding the ability to set the prefix separator to an empty string in a cleaner way in a future version. 

Hope it helps,

Pat
