Prerequisite

Paul meets an investor for his new office in Rome. He wants to associate this Meeting with his office-project in gnowsis. At the moment in his PIMO there is a Thing paul:InvestorMeetingRome and a Thing paul:OfficeRome.

Result

These two Things will be associated to each other with the two triples:

• paul:InvestorMeetingRome - pimo:hasTopic - paul:OfficeRome
• paul:OfficeRome - pimo:isTopicOf - paul:InvestorMeetingRome

Stored in the PIMO-Storage. Actually, one of the triples would be enough if PIMO-Storage supports inference.

Trigger

• Paul browses in his gnowsis to the Thing paul:OfficeRome

Procedure

• User browses to the thing "OfficeRome" in the thing browser.
• looks like this: ​http://www.dfki.uni-kl.de/~sauermann/2006/01-pimo-report/img-guithing.png
• user enters the new relation at the bottom of the "relations" list by text-searching for the thing to relate, where the add is
• user enters the name of the thing to relate (the field should have auto-completion that makes text search over the labels, altlabels and wikinames of things)
• if user doesn't find the thing by text-search, can press a button "..." to select the thing using a tree-like popup that shows all things.
• user selects the property by text-entering it (or drop-down combo) possibilities see below in "alternatives".

Alternatives

• drag&drop
  • he searches for the text "inves".
  • from the search results (java window in sidebar) he selects paul:InvestorMeetingRome starts the drag
  • drop ends in the "relations" list in the open thing at paul:OfficeRome.
  • the new relation can be categories using a selection picking from:
    • OfficeRome - hasTopic - InvestorMeetingRome
    • OfficeRome - isTopicOf - InvestorMeetingRome
    • OfficeRome - related - InvestorMeetingRome
    • OfficeRome - hasPart - InvestorMeetingRome
    • OfficeRome - isPartOf - InvestorMeetingRome
    • more...

• Now Paul wants to relate Peter to this meeting, because he will attend him.
  • So he browses again to the Thing paul:InvestorMeetingRome and adds the Thing representing peter per drag&drop to the list "related"
  • The system will create the two accordingly triples and store them

• The relevant Things are not available per drag&drop (maybe the list/tree of all Things is too large)
  • So Paul needs a different way to add Things to related-lists and hasTopic-lists
  • For this case he clicks a "find Thing"-button, a popup-window opens and here he can searach for the Things in his PIMO
