Tips for Creating Entities and Terms
-
Before you define vocabulary entities
and terms, review the structure of the tables that input values will
come from. Vocabularies should be structured similarly to these tables
to ensure that terms are mapped correctly to input columns. Coordinate
your work with the groups that will be using the vocabulary. Coordination
helps ensure that the vocabulary structure meets their requirements.

Boolean data can be represented with terms that are defined
either as Boolean data types or as Character data types. In some cases,
Boolean values might be better represented by using terms defined
as Character. For example, if your data already uses yes
and no
for
Boolean data, then you probably want to use a Character term to process
these values rather than try to translate those values to true
and false
.
