Creating an Dictionary Entity Component
A entity component enables connection of a individual to a dictionary element.
HOPEX Information Architecture also enables connection of two individuals into individuals with a Dictionary Entity Component relationship type.
For example, you can specify that "Asimov" is the author of the work "The Robots".
To create a dictionary entity component between two individuals:
1. Open the properties window of the individual carrying the relationship.
For example, the "Asimov" individual.
2. Select the Components tab.
3. Click the New button.
The dictionary entity component creation wizard opens.
4. At the left of the Characterizing Element field, click the Connect button.
The query wizard opens.
5. Select the individual you want to connect.
For example, the "The Robots" individual.
6. Click OK.
The entity component is created. It appears in the individual structure diagram of the described object.
