Opening the Engineering with Semantic Navigation Workspace in WebStation

You open the Engineering with Semantic Navigation workspace in WebStation to work with semantic.

WebStation has a number of features to help you navigate in the semantic database.

The main features are:

  • Semantic Navigator

  • Semantic Information List

  • Semantic Graph View

  • Semantic Breadcrumb

You can access all the features from the Semantic View in WebStation.

For more information, see Semantic View in WebStation .

You must use the Semantic Engineering View to be able to navigate in the semantic database.

For more information, see Opening the Engineering with Semantic Navigation Workspace in WebStation .

Semantic Navigator

Use Semantic Navigator to navigate between related nodes in the semantic model that describes the building and the installed system. Using the semantic navigator, you can enter the building, navigate between floors, rooms and equipment in the semantic model.

The Semantic Navigator contains a filter that filter on Brick types. This speed up navigation in large ontologies.

For more information, see Semantic Navigator in WebStation .

Semantic Information List

Use Semantic Information List to get an overview of all semantic nodes related to the semantic node that is selected in Semantic Navigator, Semantic Graph View, or Semantic Breadcrumb. In the list you can filter using Quick filter. You can also the semantic filter icons to filter on point, equipment, system and location.

From the list you can navigate to objects in the EBO database if the object is related to a semantic node. For example, from a semantic node connected to an alarm in the EBO database, you can navigate to that alarm. That means that you can edit an alarm from Semantic Navigation List.

For more information, see Semantic Information List .

Semantic Graph View

Use Semantic Graph View to get a graphic overview over the semantic system.

Semantic Graph View displays the selected objects and its relations to other objects. It also displays the type of relation. By hovering over a line in the graphic the relation is displayed. Different types of relations are also displayed with different colors, for example the Brick relation "is fed by" is displayed with a blue line.

You can click on any of the related objects that are displayed in the graphics to display that object and its relations.

When you navigate in Semantic Graph View the navigation is reflected in Semantic Breadcrumb and in the Semantic information list.

For more information, see Semantic Graph View .

Semantic Breadcrumb

Semantic Breadcrumb displays a breadcrumb, or semantic path, of the parents to a selected node. A node can have more than one path to the parent, but the breadcrumb prioritizes the relations to physical entities, such as a room, a floor, or a building to give a spatial path to the selected node.

You can navigate in the sematic database by clicking on a node in the breadcrumb and navigate to that object. The navigation in the breadcrumb is reflected in the Semantic Graph View. When you click on a node in Semantic Breadcrumb, the same node is selected in the Semantic Graph View.

For more information, see Semantic Breadcrumb .

Semantic Navigation Panes

You can create Semantic Navigation panes with initial filters in WorkStation. These panes are supported in WebStation.

For more information, see Creating a Semantic Navigation Pane .

Semantic Search

You can create saved semantic searches in WorkStation. These saved searches are supported in WebStation.

For more information, see Searching for Semantic Objects or Properties .
