The Foundry Ontology powers operational workflows, helps generate insights, and maintains an up-to-date representation of what matters to you by combining data from a variety of datasources with data coming from user-driven edits to objects. In the Foundry Ontology, users can edit property values, add and remove links, and create and delete objects by applying Actions.
An Action in Foundry is a single transaction that changes the properties of one or more objects, based on user-defined logic. Actions enable you to use and manage data while thinking about your overall objectives, rather than chasing specific property edits. Actions can be triggered from Foundry applications (like Workshop and Object Views) or from external applications with Foundry APIs. For more information about how to configure and apply actions, see the Actions documentation.
The other pages in this section discuss the necessary configuration for object types and link types to enable Actions, as well as the underlying mechanisms that enable user-driven edits in the Ontology.
