Vocabularies, entities,
and terms are the basic building blocks of a business rules database.
Vocabularies contain entities, and entities contain terms.
In this
tutorial, you use the data table HMEQ_SCORE_PROB_OUTPUT, which you
registered in Define Data Sources to import the terms for a new vocabulary. Then, you create a new entity and term manually in SAS Decision Manager
and rename two of the imported terms.
Create a New Vocabulary
To create a vocabulary:
-
Select
Business RulesVocabularies.
-
Right-click on your
folder in the Tutorials folder, and select New
Vocabulary.
-
Enter HMEQ_Vocab
for
the vocabulary name, and click OK.
Import Terms From an Input Data Set
The easiest way to
create new entities and terms is to import them from an input data
set.
The following
steps import all of the terms in the data table HMEQ_SCORE_PROB_OUTPUT,
which you registered in the SAS Metadata Repository in Define Data Sources.
-
Double-click HMEQ_Vocab to
open the vocabulary.
-
Click
to import the vocabulary entities and terms. The
Import
Terms window appears.
-
Select HMEQ_SCORE_PROB_OUTPUT as
the data source, and enter BadLoans_Test
as
the entity name.
-
Select the check box
to the left of the Term table header to select
all of the terms, and click OK.
SAS Decision Manager
imports the terms and adds them to the entity named BadLoans_Test.
If you expand the list, you see all of the terms that were imported.
-
Click
to close the vocabulary.
Create a New Entity and New Terms
In addition to importing
terms, you can create entities and terms manually. The following steps
create a new entity and two new terms.
-
In the Business Rules:
Vocabularies category view, expand HMEQ_Vocab,
right-click the BadLoans_Test entity, and
select New Term. The New Term window
appears.
-
Enter DEROG
as
the term name, select Integer as the data
type, and click OK.
-
Right-click HMEQ_Vocab and
select New Entity. The New Entity window
appears.
-
Enter BadLoans_Actions
as
the entity name, and click OK.
-
Right-click BadLoans_Actions and
select New Term. The New Term window
appears.
-
Enter BadLoanFlag
for
the term name. Select Boolean for the data
type, select Exclude from input, and click OK.
The HMEQ_Vocab vocabulary
now contains two entities and several terms. You can display all of
the terms in the vocabulary in the category view.
