Diagrams

Diagrams are created using React Flow.

diagrams.json

Create a src/vision/layouts/diagrams.json file (case-sensitive)

The src/vision/layouts/diagrams.json file is responsible for:

  • Defining what OML Vision Diagrams can render
    • Name of the Diagrams
    • Name of the nodes for the Diagram
    • Name of the edges for the Diagram
    • Queries for the Diagram node content
    • Queries for the Diagram edge content
    • How to map Diagrams node queries to edge queries

It is formatted as a JSON data structure.

An example of what this looks like is seen below with the source code found here

{
  "decompositions": {
    "name": "Decomposition",
    "queries": {
      "decompositions": "component.sparql",
      "edge": "component.sparql"
    },
    "rowMapping": {
      "id": "decompositions",
      "name": "System",
      "labelFormat": "{c1_localname}",
      "colorKey": "c1_localname",
      "edgeMatchKey": "c1_localname"
    },
    "edges": [
      {
        "id": "edge",
        "name": "Edge",
        "labelFormat": "hasSubsystem",
        "colorKey": "c2_localname",
        "sourceKey": "c1_localname",
        "targetKey": "c2_localname"
      }
    ]
  },
  "movingscenario": {
    "name": "Scenario",
    "queries": {
      "movingscenario": "scenario_move.sparql",
      "edge": "scenario_move.sparql"
    },
    "rowMapping": {
      "id": "movingscenario",
      "name": "Task",
      "labelFormat": "{f2_id} \n {f2_cname}",
      "colorKey": "f2_id",
      "edgeMatchKey": "f2_id"
    },
    "edges": [
      {
        "id": "edge",
        "name": "Edge",
        "labelFormat": "invokes",
        "colorKey": "f2_id",
        "sourceKey": "f2_id",
        "targetKey": "f3_id"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Defining Diagram​

A Diagram must be properly defined in order to be rendered by OML Vision

Terminology​

OML Vision defines a node and edge as follows:

  • Node: A graphical element that contains information
  • Edge: A graphical element that connects information

Diagram Terminology

path​

REQUIRED
path: string

This string defines the path of the Diagram.

USER INTERFACE

The name of the path is the same path that was defined in the pages.json.

Diagram Path

name​

OPTIONAL
name: string

This string gives a name to the Diagram in the diagramLayouts.json file.

queries​

REQUIRED
queries: {}

This object contains the queries that will query the RDF Triplestore for the content that will populate in the Diagram.

Look at the sparql docs for more info found here

FUSEKI

You can test queries by going to localhost:3030 which is created once data is loaded into the Fuseki DB. You can watch more info about testing queries with Fuseki by going here

rowMapping​

REQUIRED
rowMapping: {}

This object defines how the queries map to the columnNames

id​

REQUIRED
id: string

This string the id for the rowMapping.

USER INTERFACE

The id correspond to one of the columnNames.

Diagram Row Mapping Id

name​

OPTIONAL
name: string

This string gives a name to the rowMapping.

labelFormat​

REQUIRED
labelFormat: string

This string contains the label of the row for the rowMapping.

USER INTERFACE

The labelFormat is rendered in the rows of the Diagram shown in the red boxes.

STRING INTERPOLATION

OML Vision supports string interpolation with the queries that were formatted. The format is "{string}"

An example is found here

Diagram Column Names

colorKey​

REQUIRED
colorKey: string

This string is the seed for a random color generator for the nodes rendered in the Diagram. Needed to generate legend.

STRING INTERPOLATION

OML Vision supports string interpolation with the queries that were formatted. The format is "{string}"

edgeMatchKey​

REQUIRED
edgeMatchKey: string

This string defines the edge for each node in the Diagram.

STRING INTERPOLATION

OML Vision supports string interpolation with the queries that were formatted. The format is "{string}"

subRowMappings​

OPTIONAL
subRowMappings: {
    id: string
    name: string
    labelFormat: string
    colorKey: string
    edgeMatchKey: string
  }[]

This subRowMappings array of objects defines the id, name, labelFormat, colorKey, and edgeMatchKey for the subrows of the Diagram.

The id, name, labelFormat, colorKey, and edgeMatchKey have the same data structure as rowMapping

edges​

REQUIRED
edges: {
    id: string
    name: string
    labelFormat: string
    colorKey: string
    sourceKey: string
    targetKey: string
  }[]

This edges array of objects defines the id, name, labelFormat, and colorKey for the edges of the Diagram.

The id, name, labelFormat, and colorKey have the same data structure as rowMapping

sourceKey​

REQUIRED
sourceKey: string

This string defines the source node for the edge in the Diagram.

targetKey​

REQUIRED
targetKey: string

This string defines the target node for the edge in the Diagram.
