This system is going to work with information which can be categorized and described through objects, types and properties.
Usually this is called "definition of taxonomies". In practice, it is used for classification of things or concepts. As a typical object-based software application, LAPIS relies on the principles of taxonomy and applies to objects and concepts. In order to understand the logic of the system and to be able to configure your own taxonomies, you need to have at least a basic understanding of classification principles.
An „Object “is the most generic piece of information to describe something, such as person, company, asset, project, task, document, stock, etc.
„Type“ is a categorization of an Object and holds the characteristics to uniquely describe a particular object, such as person's name, address, phone, age, etc.
The characteristics used to describe a Type are called „Properties “. Properties can hold different information such as numbers, dates, colors, texts etc.
