onto.Location

Definition​

Some classes may refer to locations and these are usually asked using "where". To accomplish this you will set your class to extend the ontology concept of onto.Location.

Examples​

  • "Where do we have the oldest customer?" could mean "In which city do we have the oldest customer?"

Limitations​

If you define multiple classes as Location, it may be harder for Veezoo to disambiguate. Also, it could be that the behavior is not very consistent for the users, e.g. sometimes I see a country, sometimes a city.

Usage​

For this to work, you will have to add an extends: onto.Location. Like this:

kb {
    class Store {
        name.en: "Store"
        
        from_table: STORES
        sql: "${STORES.ID}"
        name_sql.en: "${STORES.NAME}"
        
        // Make Store extend a Location
        extends: onto.Location

        ...
    }
}

Notice that sometimes your class will already be extending a concept from our ontology (onto). Many times this will already allow you to ask 'where' questions directly. Here is a list of some of them:

  • onto.Country
  • onto.State
  • onto.City
  • onto.PostalCode
