Graphologi 1.20
Graphologi 1.20 has been released and introduces workflow capabilities for taxonomies to help make governance even easier. Good governance of taxonomies is key to using them successfully and having a managed process for change is part of that. The new workflow features give you great options for doing this. Workflow, which can be activated for each taxonomy individually, allows you to control the status of concepts within your taxonomies and the option to assign those concepts to users to manage any change. All of this also applies to SKOS-XL. You can also go further if you want to - it is also possible to create tasks for a concept (or SKOS-XL label), so that you can define what needs doing and easily manage it. Tasks can also be assigned to users. Each task can have a thread of discussion allowing you to keep a record of any decision making relating to it. The new ‘Jobs Manager’ is your dashboard to see what is assigned to you and to others. It also includes suggestions, an existing Graphologi feature, making it much easier to know which suggestions you need to review. In addition, there are also features to get summaries of concepts in particular states and additional predefined reports to give overviews of certain aspects of workflow. The workflow capabilities can be accessed through the API.

Graphologi
Graphologi 1.16 is now available, with great enhancements for searching and bulk editing of taxonomies, as well as a new feature for understanding and navigating hierarchical structures more easily. Some taxonomies are polyhierarchical, or concepts may be in multiple taxonomies, whilst many ontologies have subclass structures with multiple paths. The ability to more easily understand all of the ‘locations’ in which a concept or class is positioned, the depths of those locations and to be able to navigate to those locations in the hierarchy is now possible with the new ‘Positioning’ feature. We have made dramatic improvements to advanced search for taxonomies. There are now quick filtering options, sophisticated advanced filtering options and the ability to hide and view additional properties, including ontology properties. There is even a full screen view to give a spreadsheet-like feel to looking at the data. All of this makes it much easier to analyse concepts and take appropriate action. One of the most asked for features has been general bulk edit. To complement the existing bulk capabilities for scheme and class management there is now the new ‘Editor’ feature in Graphologi that provides flexible bulk editing options. Concepts for editing can be selected using the same filtering capabilities as the new advanced search and then various different tasks can be executed, such as adding, removing or replacing values, relationships and classes. Bulk editing also has a preview feature so that you can check what the impact of the change might be before you actually execute it, giving users additional confidence that the change will work as anticipated. There are also some other useful enhancements: ⚫ Suggestions now display only ‘open’ suggestions by default, making the view less cluttered. ⚫ In property templates it is now possible to filter the templates and to more easily navigate to a particular template, which is really useful for users

Graphologi 1.7
Graphologi 1.7 is now available and adds yet more exciting features - versions and merging of RDF. As part of the lifecycle management of taxonomies and ontologies it can be important to be able to access them as they were at a specific point in time, whether for deployment purposes, audit purposes, being able to compute differences, or any other business need. Graphologi 1.7 now allows you to create versions of projects. This works for both taxonomy and ontology projects. Each version can be queried via the API, including using SPARQL. In Graphologi you can view the list of versions for a project, the history of changes for a version and are able to download a version. Each version also generates a snapshot, which can be used for restore. Another great enhancement is the ability to merge data onto concepts in taxonomies using RDF. This API capability makes it possible to do things like bulk add alternative labels or, possibly, identifiers from other systems. It includes using properties from ontologies as well as SKOS properties. A full history of the merge changes are kept. It complements the spreadsheet merge capabilities that were already available. Versions are available in premium subscriptions or higher. RDF merge is available in all subscriptions. https://graphologi.com/release

Graphologi 1.6
Graphologi 1.6 is out and is all about improving support for ontologies. There are some great new features. In this release you can now visualise your ontologies, import has been greatly improved, handling a mix of languages has been enhanced, deprecation is now supported and we have added quality checks. Visualising ontologies can be important to help easily communicate modelling decisions and to show the relationships between entities. Graphologi now makes this easy to do for ontologies too. The visualisation design has also been improved and this also applies to taxonomies. There are a host of standard ontologies available and reusing those can reduce modelling work. Graphologi’s import has been enhanced to allow a much wider range of ontologies to be easily imported. When using multiple ontologies in a single project they can often use different languages. Standard ontologies frequently have labels without any defined language. We have made it much more intuitive to work with these scenarios. For ontology lifecycle management it can sometimes be important to make classes and properties obsolete. It is now possible to deprecate classes and properties to help manage this lifecycle. It is also important to ensure that the model is correct and behaving as expected and with this release we are introducing quality checks for ontologies similar to the checks for taxonomies. We have also improved the editor to better handle checks as you make changes. Additionally, there is enhanced drag and drop, we have added additional metadata fields for an ontology and there is better control over the management of IRIs for properties. #taxonomy #ontology #knowledgegraph Full details are in the release notes at: https://graphologi.com/release You can sign up for a free trial of Graphologi at: https://graphologi.graphifi.com/gs/signup

Graphologi 1.5
Graphologi 1.5 has been released and includes some great new features for management of taxonomies and linking data. Within Graphologi projects are the level at which a team or taxonomist generally works. Some of the time it makes sense to spread data over projects for various reasons, such as the ability to manage permissions, where different teams might work on different data. There are situations, however, where it becomes useful to be able to make links across those projects as well as just within a project. With Graphologi 1.5 making relationships between projects is now possible. One of the great things about semantic technology is how easy it is to link data together. Linked data can connect datasets managed by different organisations, allowing you to benefit from the additional richness that those connections add. DBpedia is one of the most well known linked data sets and with this release of Graphologi it is now possible to easily make relationships to resources in DBpedia. This release also includes important updates in the handling of IRIs that have been changed. Ideally IRIs are persistent but occasionally it is necessary to change them. Release 1.5 brings additional and improved options in how to handle this.
