Configure the list of recognized verbs
Oracle Policy Modeling comes with a library of
commonly used verbs. These verbs have already been
and are ready to use in attributes.
Oracle Policy Modeling will be unable to initially parse an attribute if it contains an unknown verb (ie a verb that is not in the default verbs list). In this instance,
it is necessary to create a custom verbs list to add the new verb to. From then
on, Oracle Policy Modeling will recognize that verb whenever it is used in an attribute.
NOTE: Projects which use a Rapid Language Support language parser do not contain a list of verbs so the options below do not apply to these projects. For more information on how to edit the sentence forms for such projects, see the Help available in the Rapid Language Support Tool.
What do you want to do?
Create a new verb file
Add a new verb
Modify existing verb forms
Delete a verb
Create a new verb file
To create a verb file:
- In Oracle Policy Modeling, select File | Edit
Verbs....
- You will be prompted to create a custom verbs file. Click Yes.
TIP: Custom verb
files are created at the project level. If you already have a custom verb
file from another project that you want to use in your project, copy it
into the Development folder
for your project. The file must be called verbs.xml.
Add a new verb
After you have created a new verb file (see above), you can then add new verbs to it. In the Verbs List dialog box:
- Check the verb is
not in the existing Verbs
List by entering the verb in the find field.
- If the verb is not
shown in the list, click Add... to
add it.
- In the Verb Editor dialog box, press Tab to automatically conjugate the verb.
- Check
that all of the verb forms are correct. NOTE: Oracle Policy Modeling does not recognize the difference between regular and irregular verbs and initially conjugates all verbs as regular verbs. If the verb you
are adding is an irregular verb, you must know what form the verb takes
for each so that you can update the verb forms in the Verb Editor appropriately.
- Click OK
to add the verb to the verb list.
NOTE: You will need to manually reparse any statements using the verb in order for it to be recognized.
Modify existing verb forms
To modify an existing verb form:
- In Oracle Policy Modeling, select File | Edit
Verbs....
- If you have not edited the verb list before, you will be prompted to create a custom verbs file. Click Yes.
- In the Verbs List enter the verb you want to edit.
- When the verb is highlighted, click Edit....
- In the Verb Editor make the necessary changes and click OK. Then click OK in the Verbs List.
Delete a verb
To delete a verb from the verbs list for the project:
- In Oracle Policy Modeling, select File | Edit
Verbs....
- In the Verbs List enter the verb you want to delete.
- When the verb is highlighted, click Delete. Then click OK.
