Creating a relation

A relation is established between two term annotations. A relation annotation is thus created on top of term annotations. If you click on a term annotation, it will be highlighted. Subsequently, clicking another term will create a relation annotation between the two, with a default descriptor. To cancel your initial selection of a term, press the ESC key.

Adding an attribute to a relation

To add an attribute to a relation, select a relation and click the Relation Configuration icon , to open the Relation Configuration dialog, where you can choose a predefined attribute type or define a new attribute type as you like.

Choose the attribute type and the value you want to add to the selected relation(s).
