DataModel

AMD: require(["esri/rest/knowledgeGraph/DataModel"], (DataModel) => { /* code goes here */ });
ESM: import DataModel from "@arcgis/core/rest/knowledgeGraph/DataModel.js";
Class: esri/rest/knowledgeGraph/DataModel
Inheritance: DataModelAccessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25
beta

The data model defines the entity types and relationship types in a knowledge graph service as well as some additional settings. The DataModel resource allows users to query the properties of both entity and relationship types. By defining these types and their properties, the data model defines the schema of the graph.

Sample of a knowledge graph data model.

Property Details

arcgisManaged

Property
arcgisManaged Booleanreadonly

Indicates if the data in the graph is managed by ArcGIS Knowledge. This is true for hosted knowledge graph services and ArcGIS managed external data stores where ArcGIS Knowledge can create, update and delete data. This property is false for user managed external graph stores, in which the data and data model are read only from ArcGIS Knowledge.

Note

Currently the only supported external graph store is Neo4j

declaredClass

Inherited
Property
declaredClass Stringreadonly
Inherited from Accessor

The name of the class. The declared class name is formatted as esri.folder.className.

entityTypes

Property
entityTypes EntityType[]readonly

A list of the entity types contained in the knowledge graph including their associated properties.

identifierInfo

Property
identifierInfo Objectreadonly

Information about the global ID for the knowledge graph.

Properties
identifierMappingInfo Object

Information on the type and format of the universally unique identifier

Specification
identifierInfoType String

Indicates the type of the ID. esriIdentifierInfoTypeDatabaseNative is a durable, settable database native identifier. esriIdentifierInfoTypeUniformProperty is a user-defined property that guarantees named type category uniqueness & is uniformly named across the graph.

Possible Values:"esriIdentifierInfoTypeUNSPECIFIED"|"esriIdentifierInfoTypeUniformProperty"|"esriIdentifierInfoTypeDatabaseNative"

databaseNativeIdentifier Object

Properties of database native identifier.

uniformPropertyIdentifier Object

Properties of the user defined unique identifier.

Specification
identifierPropertyName String

The name of the unique identifier property for all records.

identifierGenerationInfo Object

Information on how the unique identifier is generated.

Specification
uuidMethodHint String

Information on the format of the unique identifier. esriUUIDESRI is a universally unique ID in Esri/Microsoft format: {XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX} UUID_RFC_4122 is a universally unique ID in RFC4122 lowercase format.

Possible Values:"esriMethodHintUNSPECIFIED"|"esriUUIDESRI"|"esriUUIDRFC4122"

Example
"identifierInfo": {
 	"IdentifierMappingInfo": {
 		"databaseNativeIdentifier": null,
 		"identifierInfoType": "esriIdentifierInfoTypeUniformProperty",
 		"uniformPropertyIdentifier": {
 			"identifierPropertyName": "globalid"
 		}
 	},
 	"identifierGenerationInfo": {
 		"uuidMethodHint": "esriUUIDESRI"
 	}
 }

metaEntityTypes

Property
metaEntityTypes EntityType[]readonly
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.30 DataModel since 4.25, metaEntityTypes added at 4.30.

A list of the meta entity types in the knowledge graph and their associated properties. metaEntityTypes are types that store information about the records, or specific properties on records in the graph. For example, provenance tracks where information in the knowledge graph originated. Each provenance record associates the value stored in a property of an entity or a relationship with a specific source.

relationshipTypes

Property
relationshipTypes RelationshipType[]readonly

Method Details

addHandles

Inherited
Method
addHandles(handleOrHandles, groupKey)
Inherited from Accessor

Adds one or more handles which are to be tied to the lifecycle of the object. The handles will be removed when the object is destroyed.

// Manually manage handles
const handle = reactiveUtils.when(
  () => !view.updating,

// Destroy the object
this.destroy();
Parameters
handleOrHandles WatchHandle|WatchHandle[]

Handles marked for removal once the object is destroyed.

groupKey *

Method
fromJSON(json){*}static

Creates a new instance of this class and initializes it with values from a JSON object generated from an ArcGIS product. The object passed into the input json parameter often comes from a response to a query operation in the REST API or a toJSON() method from another ArcGIS product. See the Using fromJSON() topic in the Guide for details and examples of when and how to use this function.

Parameter
json Object

A JSON representation of the instance in the ArcGIS format. See the ArcGIS REST API documentation for examples of the structure of various input JSON objects.

Returns
Type Description
* Returns a new instance of this class.

hasHandles

Inherited
Method
hasHandles(groupKey){Boolean}
Inherited from Accessor

Returns true if a named group of handles exist.

Parameter
groupKey *
optional

A group key.

Returns
Type Description
Boolean Returns true if a named group of handles exist.
Example
// Remove a named group of handles if they exist.
if (obj.hasHandles("watch-view-updates")) {
  obj.removeHandles("watch-view-updates");
}

removeHandles

Inherited
Method
removeHandles(groupKey)
Inherited from Accessor

Removes a group of handles owned by the object.

Parameter
groupKey *
optional

A group key or an array or collection of group keys to remove.

Example
obj.removeHandles(); // removes handles from default group

obj.removeHandles("handle-group");
obj.removeHandles("other-handle-group");

toJSON

Method
toJSON(){Object}

Converts an instance of this class to its ArcGIS portal JSON representation. See the Using fromJSON() guide topic for more information.
