onto.Person

Definition​

Some classes may refer to people and these are usually asked using "who".

Examples​

  • "Who sold most car insurance policies in my agency?" means "Which employee sold ..."
  • "Who asked the most questions yesterday?" means "Which user asked the most questions..."

Limitations​

If you define multiple classes as People, 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 customer, sometimes an employee.

Usage​

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

kb {
    class User {
        name.en: "User"
        
        from_table: USERS
        sql: "${USERS.USER_ID}"
        name_sql.en: "${USERS.USER_NAME}"
        
        // Make User extend a Person
        extends: onto.Person

        ...
    }
}

Notice that sometimes your class will already be extending a concept from our ontology (onto). Many times this will already allow you to ask 'who' questions directly, e.g. for extends: onto.Employee or extends: onto.Customer.
