To view the Ontology for the Current Active Bot, click on the Ontology link in the navigation bar.
Click on one of the displayed Classes to view the Individuals within them.
The Ontology view will be loaded as such:
Note: if you do not see a list of Classes, you may need to Load Ontology (see 10.2 Load Ontology)
When the Bot is newly created, no Ontology will be present yet, and the page will be empty.
To load up the default Ontology:
Click on "Load Ontology"
Within a few seconds, the Default list of Classes will appear
Classes contain child Ontology elements, called "Individuals"
You can create a new Individual for a Class by:
Click on one of the Classes in the list
Click on the "+ Create New Individual" button
In the "Create an Individual pane" that opens, specify
#label (required): The unique identifier of the Ontology element
#altLabel (optional): A list of synonyms or related words to describe this Ontology Element. You can add more than one by clicking on "+ Add new Value"
#definition (optional): Detailed descriptions of this Ontology element
Now click Click "Save"
The new Individual is created, and displayed in the list of Individuals as seen below:
To edit the Individual:
To remove a Property Value, click on the 'X' button on the right-side of the value
To add a new Property Value, click the "+ Add new value" button under the list of Property Values
Click "Save" to update the Individual
Please take care while doing this as it cannot be undone.
To export the Ontology for the Current Bot click on the "Actions" button on the top-right of the screen, and select Export Ontology.
A .ttl file will be downloaded
Save this file as a backup of your Ontology
You can also Import this Ontology into another Bot by using the Import Ontology function in the next section.
To export the Ontology for the Current Bot click on the "Actions" button on the top-right of the screen, and select Import Ontology.
In the file picker, select the .ttl file
Note: the .ttl file should have been previously exported via the Export Ontology function
The Bot's Ontology should now be loaded with the new Ontology elements
After Adding or Removing Individuals from the Ontology, you'll need to Train Ontology so that the Converse AI Engine can pick up changes made.
After running "Train Ontology", you'll still need to execute "Train Bot" in the Intent Dashboard so that the AI Engine can also process the Intents and Phrases.
Tip: You can also skip "Train Ontology" and proceed directly to "Train Bot", since "Train Bot" also checks for changes to the Ontology automatically.
Click on the 'Actions' button on the top-right corner of the page
Click on the Edit button to access the Editor
To delete an Individual, click on the 'X' icon on the Individuals listing
