Concept relationships

Relationships include domain relationships as well as sibling relations.

Outgoing relationships

Outgoing relationships can be of two types:

“Parent” relationship. Known as “domain” in ISO 704 and as “broader” relation in SKOS.
Generic sibling relationship.

Changing outgoing concept relationships is possible via the Relationships panel.

Note	Concept relationships are not currently part of Change Request flow. Currently, only register manager can edit concept relationships.

Incoming relationships

Incoming concept relationships are tracked by the software automatically.

For example, it is not necessary to specify “narrower” relationships: all concepts that specify given concept A as a parent are automatically considered as “narrower” concepts of concept A.

Same applies for generic sibling relationships: if concept B is linked as related to concept A, concept A will be shown as linked by from concept B.

The Relationships panel shows incoming relationships in read-only mode. To edit an incoming relationship to A from B, go to the linked concept B and edit its outgoing relations to A.
