Creation, publication and versioning of a datamodel
On this page, you will find quick instructions for creating and publishing a datamodel.
The subpages contain more detailed instructions for creating, publishing, and versioning datamodels.
Quick instructions for modelling
When you are modelling common, reusable information, which is to be used in creating other data models, add a new data vocabulary.
When you are describing data structures for a specific information domain / use case, for example, an information system or an interface, add a new application profile that will use core vocabularies.
The linking will help you to use the contents of other data models and ontologies more easily. With this linking, the tool can filter the contents and first show the most relevant contents when you are adding resources to your data model. If you wish, however, you can expand the search to other, unlinked contents as well.
If your data model is an application profile, you can also link code lists (reference data) to it.
It is also possible to add links to terminologies and code lists later. The tool will also create links automatically when you are choosing new concepts or code lists from terminologies or code lists that have not yet been linked to the data model.
When creating a data vocabulary, add classes, attributes and associations to the data model.
When creating an application profile, add class restrictions, attribute restrictions and association restrictions.
You can either
link the classes to other classes and add necessary attributes and associations or
link the class restrictions to other class restrictions and add necessary attribute restrictions and association restrictions.
When your datamodel is ready, publish it. Assign the published datamodel a version number.
When your datamodel is no longer valid, change its status to Superseded (if it has been superseded with another datamodel), or Retired.
