Making Properties Replaceable on Export

When exporting artifacts, users can replace the existing values for certain properties like the user name and password for database data sources, the base folder location for file connections, and the file path for Anzo Data Stores. This topic provides instructions for configuring additional properties so that their values can be modified in the exported version of an artifact.

To configure a property so that its value is replaceable on export, add the following statement to the http://cambridgesemantics.com/annotations/replaceStatements graph:

<class_URI> http://cambridgesemantics.com/ontologies/2018/06/Export#replaceStatement <property_URI>

Where <class_URI> is the URI for the class that defines the property whose value should be replaceable. And <property_URI> is the URI of the property.

You can use the following TriG contents as a template for defining properties with replaceable values. The contents show the default replaceable properties. You can add your statements to the ann:replaceStatements list and then import the file.
