Overview
Ontologies in mx are very simple. They consist of user definable terms, relationship types, and relationships among terms. Terms can be tagged. References can be tied directly to terms through definitions, or through tags. Images can be attached to terms using figures.
Use
General information
There is some information on how the ontology is being used here at the Hymenoptera Ontology wiki. A public example of the ontology in use can be found here.
Configuration
You can use an ontology created in your own project, or one created in another project that you (the creator) are a member of. If you want to use another project's click on 'settings' for your project, then 'edit'. At the bottom choose the project under 'Default Public Ontology'.
In App usage
Aside from the ontology tab there are various places the ontology can be applied or used in your project. Character descriptions can be marked-up after doing character->show, and clicking on the 'markup description'.
API
A undocumented API exists for remote queries against the database (see the search action in the public controller in the source code), we're hoping to improve this and make it public soon.
