Creating Relationships

There are 3 types of relationships can be created in the tool:

  1. Owner Relationships: This kind of relationship is used to specify the ownership of an entity.

  2. Tag Relationships: This kind of relationship is used to tag an entity.

  3. Graphical Relationships: We can visually "graph" relationships between systems using this kind of relationship.

The relationships mentioned above can be established after creating a new catalog in the Anansi tool, and when you want to begin adding relationships to your entities. The realtionships can be created by using the templates described below.

General Instructions for CSV templates usage​

  1. Replace 'Metadata Catalog' with the new catalog name in both the NodeInfo.csv and RelationshipMetaInfo.csv files.

  2. Replace 'System' in the RelationshipMetaInfo.csv file with the entity (i.e., your Node Name) for which you wish to add Owner and Tag Relationships.

  3. No changes are necessary for the PropertyInfo.csv file; this file needs to be imported once in the Anansi tool.

  1. NodeInfo.csv -> To be imported into the Node Information Table.
  2. PropertyInfo.csv -> To be imported into the Property Information Table.
  3. RelationshipMetaInfo.csv -> To be imported into the Relationship Meta Info Table.

The relationships table can be created by using the CSV templates.
