Taxonomy Concepts Panel

This panel displays taxonomy concepts organized into concept schemes. It also lets you create new concepts and schemes.

A concept scheme provides an additional organizing context for a collection of concepts in a taxonomy. A concept is said to belong to a concept scheme if it is a child (directly or indirectly) of a top concept. Once a scheme is created, top concepts are added to it. A concept must belong to at least one concept scheme in order to be displayed in the Taxonomy panel, but it can also belong to more than one, if needs be.

You can create concept schemes and concepts using icons positioned in the header of the panel.

**TopBraid EDG Creating Concept Schemes and Concepts**

Taxonomy Concept panel has a quick search field. It lets you quickly look up concepts of interest. Lookup will only search for concepts presented in this panel i.e., those that are connected to concept schemes. The icon to the right of the Quick search field will switch from autocomplete lookup based on the preferred label to the full text search across all string properties.

**TopBraid EDG Switch to Full Text Search Option**

Note

When Quick search is in full text mode, the look up will be routed through the Lucene index and will be subject to its behavior …. for more information about the Lucene index see EDG Configuration Parameters.

If you right click on a concept scheme in this panel, EDG will display the right click menu with the following options.
