In digital twin builder (preview), the semantic canvas is the main view, and the centerpiece for creating your ontology.
Important
This feature is in preview.
Overview
When a new digital twin builder (preview) item is created, it opens automatically to the semantic canvas.
Here are the actions you can perform in the semantic canvas:
- Create entity types
- Map data to entity instances
- Create semantic relationships between entity types
- View the status of your mapping and contextualization operations
- Select entity types or their relationship types in the canvas to see more details about them
- Select an entity type to review all entity types that are one defined relationship type away from the selected entity type
After you add entity types and relationship types to your ontology, the semantic canvas shows their details.
Sections of the semantic canvas
Menu ribbon
The menu ribbon contains actions that you can perform from the semantic canvas. Actions include adding a new entity type, adding a new relationship type, managing flow operations, and entering Explore mode for viewing, querying, and visualizing your data.
Entity list pane
The entity list pane is where you see a list of all the entity types in your ontology. You can search for and select an entity type to view it on the canvas. Once an entity type is selected, you can view all entity types that are one defined relationship type away from the selected entity type within the canvas.
You can also expand the ... next to an entity type name to add a relationship type, map data to its instances, or deactivate the entity type.
Entity configuration pane
The entity configuration pane is displayed when you select an entity type in the semantic canvas. In this pane, you can view properties modeled on the selected entity type (Properties tab), view and configure mappings (Mappings tab), and schedule mappings (Scheduling tab).
