Terminology classification is defined as a process that generates a logically consistent subtype classification by applying description logics rules to the stated definitions of a set of concepts. The stated view of a concept definition consists of the relationships directly edited by terminology authors. It consists of the stated subtype relationships plus the defining relationships that exist prior to running a description logic classifier. When classification is applied, inferences are derived by applying a consistent set of logical rules to the definition taking account of the definitions of related concepts. The result is the inferred view.

The classifier is a software tool that applies description logics rules to a set of data to make inferences about the relationships between sets of concepts.

Step-by-step guide

1. In the Concept Editor, click Classifier to see previous classifier runs, specifying path name, request time, start time, as well as run duration and status
2. Press Schedule a run to run a new classification.
   
   
   
   
3.  Click more info to see total numbers and lists of new and inactivated 'Is_a', new and inactivated attribute relationships, cycles and equivalent concepts.
   
    
    
4. Click Show New 'IS_A' to see new supertype-subtype relationships (idem for 'Inactivated IS_A', 'New attributes', 'Inactivated attributes', 'Cycles detected', and ' Equivalents detected'.
   
   
   
   
5. Click Log to display any messages generated during classification.
