synonym

Definition​

Every concept in the Knowledge Base layer can have a synonym defined.

Similar to name, synonym allows the user to define (alternative) ways to refer to the concept over questions.

Usage​

The property synonym can be used in class, relationship, entity and all attributes. It is a single String value or multiple String values (as an Array) per language and is defined with a language tag (en for English, it for Italian, de for German, fr for French or all for all languages).

Example:

Single synonym in English for a class.

kb {
    class Customer {
        name.en: "Customer" 
        
        synonym.en: "Client"
        ...
    }
}

Multiple synonyms in English for a class.

kb {
    class Customer {
        name.en: "Customer" 
        
        synonym.en: ["Client", "Consumer"]
        ...
    }
}

In the case of Entities, the synonym property can be derived dynamically from the synonym_sql specified in the class or manually added for each entity.
