Summary of usage

Where the anchor we want to use is a concept that is coming from a taxonomy. That concept will have a preferred label, but it may also have any number of alternative labels.

A Taxonomy Anchor is an anchor that uses concepts arranged hierarchically in taxonomies.

A taxonomy anchor can either use all of the concepts in a taxonomy, from the concept being pointed at and all child concepts, or it can use only the concept in the taxonomy being pointed at. We can point at any concept in a taxonomy. These taxonomies can also be linked-in to the model from external models. In this way, we can link in very large models and taxonomies, and only use the bits of them that we want to for fact extraction or context anchoring.

Exemplification

The TTL format of an example model can be found here: NearUnorderedAcrossPhrasesInParagraph.TaxonomyAnchor.multipleTaxonomiesAndConcepts.restrictClasses

If you wish to test, you will need to:

1. create a new model and then import the test TTL model file into it
2. copy and paste the content text from the model’s associated test into DA and classify
