Information models are represented in ONTOLIS as ontology with classes, properties and relationships. In addition to classes for information types (document, topic, graphic, ...), all objects used in product information are modeled as classes of the information model. An exact usage record and reliable updating in case of changes are thus made possible. Information models in ONTOLIS CMDS also include classes for product modeling. Generic classes, such as component or function, can be refined customer-specifically. Mapping of information models is an essential concept in ONTOLIS. ONTOLIS CMDS manages information not only independent of media, but also of information model.
Create your topics in the integrated Topic Editor. Use fragments, phrases, objects, dynamic tables, placeholders and variables.
Manage your objects, product models, documents, topics, fragments in one place and use them in your daily work. Configure filter settings for you and your team to access frequently used data faster.
Partially automated metadata management: Maintain the metadata of your topics in one contral place. Your topic inherits the metadata of its origin upon creation, but you can extend, change, adjust metadata at any time - directly in the topic.
Fragments, phrases, variables: In ONTOLIS you define your information objects according to your needs. Store phrases like prerequisites and use them whenever you need them. Use variables to maximize the number of your reused objects. Define variable sets with the necessary variable values and let them magically populate your finished content. Everything exists exactly once and you can use it again and again in different contexts.
You create information objects, you have to release them, you need new versions or you link content. A lot has to happen in ONTOLIS to make you wait. Our modern web interface shines with ultra-fast response times and executes almost everything in the background. Frozen screens are a thing of the past.
Many work steps repeat themselves several times a day. With ONTOLIS you can automate exactly those steps that cost you time and are always the same. The only requirement: It has to be defined in ONTOLIS. Every object in ONTOLIS can be used to run certain processes.
