Explanation
Knowledge Model Management (KMM) allows you to export models for backup or for moving to other environments (like from a testing environment to a production environment).
This article explains how to export a single model in Knowledge Model Management (KMM). It does not cover how to backup and restore multiple models and workspaces. For that information, see How to export a model
Assumptions
- You have an existing model. (The model can be empty or have concepts in it.)
- You have the MANAGER, EDITOR, or CONTRIBUTOR role for the model.
Method
- Open the master copy of an existing model (in this example, we use “Test Model”).
- Click the Master menu option, and then click Export.
- Click the option for whichever format you want to export. (The most commonly used export format is Turtle. See rdf-export-model-formats for more details.)
- Navigate to a directory where you want to save the export, rename it if desired, and save it.
- Click Cancel on the export dialogue.
Outcome
You will have a file in the destination you chose. The extension of the file (.ttl, .rdf, or .nt) will depend on which export format you chose. You can use this file to import the model data to a different workspace or model.
