Browsing the data

Although Describo is focussed on and creates linked data, it can also provide a tabular view of your content which can be useful in Quality Assurance processes. For example, getting a list of all the people described and confirming that each has a given name defined.

Consider the following images. In the first image we see the Browse section of Describo showing a listing of all of the entities currently defined. Along the top we have controls to filter the data by type and by the content of the @id and name properties.

If we wanted to see just the people defined we could set type to Person and we would see:

The data is now showing only the people that have been described and we've expanded the entry for the #Person1 listing. In that expansion we see that both givenName and familyName have been defined. Let's show those:

In the controls we can define which properties to show in the section Show properties. You can add as many properties as you wish here and they will be displayed for the entities showing.

In this way we can easily see that Person1 has both givenName and familyName defined; Person2 has only familyName defined; and Person3 has neither.
