1 Use of Structured queries
• General information
• Targeted finding of semantic objects based on their attribute values ​​and the relationships
between the objects (pattern search)
• Search queries consist of a set of conditions
• Utilization of inheritance of both the object types and characteristic types
Example: In which department do coworkers work who were born in South-West-England?

1. Use of Structured queries
Advantages
• Creation / understanding of the structured query is possible also without any programming
knowledge
• Visual feedback on contradictions for modelling the structured query
Warning or dynamic schema information in the search
Edit condition

10. Structured queries with iviews Structured queries with i-views
1. Use of Structured queries
Advantages
• The structured query is adapted to the schema changes or it is noted on the side effects.
Deletion of a term is not possible, since a structured query in the rights system uses this term
Delete following objects?

13. Structured queries with iviews Structured queries with i-views
2. Building Structured queries
Within the structured queries, you can formulate very indirect
conditions: the structure of semantic graph databases can be
traversed between the elements. You can find artists or bands that
have written songs on certain topics and whose title we cannot
name specifically.

• For relations type conditions
• Has a relation goal limits the permissible target objects of the desired
relations
• Is property of limits the permissible source objects of the desired relations

25. Structured queries with iviews Structured queries with i-views
3.1 Characteristic conditions and scheme
• Add a type condition :
Several alternative types

• Objects or subtypes
• with or without inheritance

3.2 Identification of objects
With Identification objects can be defined accurately with different methods
Secure against renaming and homonyms

27. Structured queries with iviews Structured queries with i-views
3.2 Identification of objects
• Objects definition allows a restriction on objects whose name attribute
corresponds to the desired value. Also wild cards are allowed.

3.2 Identification of objects
• Access parameter
• For trigger/right/Viewconfig, in order to be able to access the context
objects
• Possibility to include the current user in the structured query

3.2 Identification of objects
• Script enables the formulation of a condition as a result of previously
formulated and registered scripts
example: "query.findElements({name:) "Susanne", lastname: "Meier"}) "
• Semantic element with ID narrows objects, whose internal ID corresponds
to the desired value
• In folder allows restriction to objects that are in a previously created and
registered object collection

• Conditions can be provided with a freely selectable identifier
• Can be used as input and output elements, E.g. ViewConfig, faceted
search and within macros as macro argument
• A search module with additional conditions can be continued using
the identifier function.
• If several conditions are equipped with the same identifier, the
conditions added to the identifier will be always added to all
conditions with this identifier

• With utility search you can set up dependent structured queries
• Utility searches must be linked via references to the main search for them

Swapping conditions in Utility searches
• Convert to help search moves a type of condition with all its child
conditions to the position of the root node of a newly-created help search
and link them to the main search through a reference
• Use as main search moves the selected type of condition with all its child
conditions to the position of the root node of the main search and turns its
parent conditions into a help search which references the new main search

Structered query macro (local)
• Local macros can be fitted to a structured query as a search component and
reused several times in this query
• They can be tested independently without the context of their structured
query
• They are available only for this query, if the query is deleted, the macro is
also deleted

- Parameters can be passed with multiple values or can be deactivated
- "query.findElements({name:) ["Marion", "Patrick"], lastname: undefined})
- Parts of a structured query can be "deactivated" if the parameter is not set
