Describing Concept Power Components
Just as a Concept can be characterized by a link to another concept, a concept can also be characterized by a link to a Concept Type.
A concept type enables classification of concepts. Relationships between concept types are represented by concept type components.
For example, each member "Person" could be characterized by a "Loan Type".
The relationship between a Concept and a Concept Type is described by a Concept Power Component.
A concept power component enables connection of a concept to concept type to characterize a property of the concept.
To create a Concept Power Component between a concept and a concept type in a business information area graph:
1. In the insert toolbar, click the Link button.
2. Click the concept that owns the link.
For example, "Person"
3. Click the target concept type.
For example, "Loan Type".
The Concept Power Component creation wizard opens.
4. Specify the Local Name.
5. If no term is to be created, select the "Creation without term" check box.
6. Click OK.
The Concept Power Component appears in the diagram.
