Subset Phrasing Dialog Box

Use this dialog box to specify a subset phrasing for a relationship when the relationship can be described as an entity having a subset.

An example is some mountains are volcanoes.

Options

Subject

Select the entity that represents the universal concept for which you wish to define a subset.

For example, in the relationship some mountains are volcanoes, select mountains as the subject.

Subset word (singular)

Select Subset word if the subset is simply a word, not an entity.

For example, in the relationship some mountains are volcanoes, enter the word volcanoes.

Entity that contains category values

Select Entity that contains category values if the subset is stored in another entity, and then enter the corresponding entity that contains the subset values.

Associate English Values

Display the English Data Values dialog box, where you specify where the subset words are to be found: either in a database field or in a set of specified word-value.

For example, a lookup table can contain gender codes and the values they represent (M for man and F for woman).

Add prepositional phrase

Enter the Prepositions and the Objects of Prepositions (represented by entities) that further describe the subset relationship.

For example, in doctors are primary care providers of patients, of patients is the prepositional phrase.
