Defining Conditional Profiling Groups in Subject Scheme maps

[Nadine K]

Hi
is there a way to define my conditional profiling groups in my subject scheme map?

I need the groups do define special filters, where only if all values in the group are included, other filters are set. I saw the corresponding help on the Ditaval files for the groups, but not how to define the groups in the subject scheme.
I am a bit lost here Again.
regards,
Nadine

Hi Nadine,

From what I think there is nothing in the Subject Scheme specs saying how this should work:

https://www.oxygenxml.com/dita/1.3/spec ... ibute.html

From what I discussed with by colleague who implemented this support, on the editing side I think we could try in the future to support some constructs like this:

Code: Select all

    <hasInstance>

        <subjectdef keys="productBaseSbjKey">

            <subjectdef keys="X2000"/>

            <subjectdef keys="X1000"/>

        </subjectdef>

        <subjectdef keys="productEngineersSbjKey">

            <subjectdef keys="X2002"/>

            <subjectdef keys="X1002"/>

        </subjectdef>

    </hasInstance>

    <enumerationdef>

        <attributedef name="product"  outputclass="group(base)"/>

        <subjectdef keyref="productBaseSbjKey"/>

    </enumerationdef>

    <enumerationdef>

        <attributedef name="product"  outputclass="group(extended)"/>

        <subjectdef keyref="productEngineersSbjKey"/>

    </enumerationdef>
    

meaning that in the XML content you could have something like:

Code: Select all

<p product="base(X1000 X2000) extended="X2002 X2001""

What's your opinion on this? I could try to add an internal issue to look into adding this improvement in a future version.

This solution would work then same as the now already implemented solution, right?
https://www.oxygenxml.com/dita/1.3/spec ... butes.html


How would i differentiate in the author mode between product group(base) and product group(extended)?

As it is now, there is no way to use a subject scheme map as well as the grouped attributes (at least not extending defined attributes of the subject scheme) which is very unlucky.
So I think an improvement would be very helpful.
thanks.

Hi Nadine,

Our current support for profiling attribute groups works only by manually creating profiling attributes in the Oxygen Preferences, there is a video which shows how that works:
https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/ ... roups.html

Ideally we could have the same functionality but with the groups defined in the subject scheme map.

Is there any way in versin 20 or 21 to use a subject scheme map and to define a group via the preferences?
As soon as i want to use a grouped profiling I get the error below

Value "Group(myattribute1 myattribute2)" for attribute "props" is not in the set of allowed values defined in the subject scheme:

Hi Nadine,

Unfortunately no, once you define a Subject Scheme map in your project it takes control over everything else defined in the preferences.

Please keep me informed in case the functionality is included in a release.
Thanks !

Hi Nadine,

When I created an internal issue I added a link to this forum thread. So when this gets fixed we'll update the forum thread.

Hi,
Oxygen XML Editor 25.0 is out now and contains the improvement you requested in this post.
See this documentation topic for more information: https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/ ... ect-scheme

Hi Cosmin,

We use attribute groups to organize the @product attribute to product families, then products. This is exactly what we needed to make use of subject schemes. Thank you!
