XForms/Synonym Set Editor

From Wikibooks, open books for an open world

Motivation

[edit | edit source]

You want to associate a synonym set with a single business term. A synonym set is a group of terms that have similar meaning or similar semantics. They are grouped together in a structure called a synonyms set. A term can be associated with one-and-only-one synonym set.

These tools are frequently used during the process of creating an enterprise-wide controlled vocabulary. These vocabularies are used for identifying data elements or expressing business rules in a consistent way across multiple organizations.

Method

[edit | edit source]

In this program we will have once instance that has an initial synonym set. We will have a button that reveals alternative synonyms using a switch/case. When you select a new synonym set it will copy the selected synonym set tree into the selected synonym set and close the case.
