The Metadata & Statistics Tab of a PoolParty Project

31/07/2025

This section contains a short guide on the Metadata and Statistics tabs of the Details View of a PoolParty project.

The Metadata tab consists of two main parts:

A project has two kinds of IDs, both of which are sometimes called "project IDs":

A UUID like the identifier beginning with "2bc7ef10-0eb9" above. This is generated when you create a project. The project UUID is used in PoolParty API and extractor API calls and in the name of the project repositories accessible through the GraphDB Workbench.
A keyword ID (shown as the Project Identifier value on the Confirmation dialog box when you create a project). By default, this value is based on the title that you create for the project; for the example above it would be MySampleProject. However, it can be set to a different string at the time of project creation.
In addition to the PoolParty API, the keyword ID is used as part of the project’s URI templates to generate identifiers for things like concepts and graphs. It is also used for other things such as driving linked data resolution in the Linked Data Front End.

Both ID types are unchangeable; they are set during project creation and cannot be modified afterwards.

Both forms of project ID are typically acceptable in API calls, except with Extractor API calls, which need the UUID form.

Displaying the project settings:

Languages: Lists the languages of the project defined when the project was created. Here you can add languages to a project or set the display languages for your project.
Workflow: Shows whether the workflow function is enabled for this project.
Quality Setting: Displays the quality settings for your project used to generate quality reports. You can edit this setting by clicking the Edit icon.
User Groups: Shows the groups the project belongs to, which you can edit with a click on the Edit icon.
URI Generation: Displays the URI generation pattern set when the project was created.
Repository Type: Shows the repository type defined when the project was created.
Repository: Displays the repository provider.
Project Version: Shows the version of PoolParty when the project was created. If the project was created in a previous version, you will also see a message if it has not been migrated to the new version yet.

The project metadata is stored in a separate graph following the VoID (Vocabulary of Interlinked Datasets) schema.

In addition project data can be provided in the ADMS (Asset Description Metadata Schema) schema defined by the EU.
