How to add label relationships to a model structure

Explanation

Concept-to-label relationships link concepts to various alternative labels in multiple languages. This article explains how to create custom label relationships to apply to concepts.

Assumptions

• You have an existing model.
• The model has classes created in the model structure.
• You have the MANAGER, EDITOR, or CONTRIBUTOR role for the model.

Method

1. Open a model (in this example, an empty model call Test Model), and click Edit Master or open a task.
2. At the top, click the model menu (labelled Master or by the name of your task), and then in the GOVERN MODEL section click Structure.
   
3. In the left-hand navigation area, click to expand Concept-to-Label Relationships, and then click the plus symbol by alternative label.
   
4. In the Create a new label relationship dialogue: - Select a domain for the relationship (in this example, Child). (1) - Type a name for the relationship, and select a language (in this example, “nickname” in English (en)). (2) - (Optional) Edit the URI for the relationship. (3) - Click Save. (4)
   

Once the relationship is created, there are several options that perform the following options in the Details pane:

• Change the preferred label or add a label in a new language for the relationship. (1)
• Add metadata to the relationship (such as notes and a description). (2)
• Edit the domain. (3)
  

Outcome

You will see the new relationship in the left navigation area, as well as details on the right. When you are in the edit Model view, you will be able to select the relationship for concepts that have the classes defined in the domain.
