Working with ontologies
The platform supports the full lifecycle of an ontology. Each of these operations is also available through the SDK and REST API (see the Ontologies API reference):- Create or update — save a new ontology with a name and optional description, or update an existing one.
- List — browse the ontologies available to you.
- Load — open a specific ontology by its ID.
- Copy — duplicate an ontology, within your workspace or into another.
- Export / Import — export an ontology (including its data and metadata) to a portable file, and import it back into a workspace later.
- Cleanup — delete a single ontology or remove all of your ontology resources.
Templates
Prometheux ships with a marketplace of ontology templates — pre-built starting points for common use cases (for example, financial analysis or customer analytics). You can browse the available templates and import one as a new ontology to get going quickly without building from scratch.Workspaces
A workspace holds all of your ontologies. You can export an entire workspace — every ontology and its associated data — and import it back elsewhere, which is useful for backups or moving work between environments.Quick example (SDK)
