Graph Modeling Thesaurus Manager
12/03/2026
The Graph Modeling Thesaurus Manager is the dedicated Graphwise component for creating, managing, and maintaining complex taxonomies. This chapter provides a comprehensive summary of the application; from navigating the user interface to implementing advanced semantic standards like SKOS-XL.
To help you get started quickly, we recommend using the Interactive Tutorials available directly within the Graph Modeling UI. These product tours provide hands-on guidance for fundamental tasks, such as creating your first concept schemes, top concepts, and concepts to create your first taxonomy. You can find more details on accessing these tours on the Interactive Tutorials - Product Tours page.
This chapter is organized into several functional areas to support your workflow:
Graph Modeling User Guide: An overview of the Graph Modeling user interface and the essential steps for creating, importing, and managing your projects. It also describes several methods for building taxonomies from scratch, including manual creation, AI-assisted generation via the Taxonomy Builder and Taxonomy Advisor, and harvesting linked data through DBpedia.
Advanced Tools: A technical walk-through for SKOS-XL label relations, URI pattern management, and creating dynamic SPARQL Lists and Collections.
Multilingual Project Management: A guide to managing translations across multilingual projects using the Terminology Import Assistant.
Corpus Management: All you need to know about extracting concepts and terms from your own document collections to ensure your taxonomy reflects your actual data.
Import and Export with Graph Modeling: Procedures for moving data in and out of Graph Modeling using various formats. This includes RDF for semantic interoperability and Excel/CSV for tabular data management and bulk updates.
Backing up Graph Modeling Projects: A guide to creating manual and automatic snapshots of your projects.
Validating Graph Modeling Projects: An overview of the Data Validator tool, which helps you identify and repair structural inconsistencies or errors within your thesaurus to ensure a healthy data model.
Graph Modeling Notifications: Details on setting up Webhooks and event-based notifications, allowing you to track changes (such as concept creation or status updates) and integrate them with external systems.
Quality Management and Reporting: Information on defining quality scenarios, running integrity checks, and generating standardized or custom reports to evaluate your taxonomy.
Linked Data Management: Methods for enriching your project by looking up data from the Semantic Web and publishing your own taxonomies as Linked Data for external consumption.
The Graph Modeling Frontend: An overview of the end-user interfaces, including the Linked Data Frontend for data retrieval and the SPARQL Endpoint for executing complex queries against your project data.
