Topic type

Unary association type on topic types, used to state that a topic type has a (potentially) large set of instances. This should be set for topic types where the set of instances could be more than, say, 1000.

This will cause Ontopoly to not attempt to make complete lists of instances of this topic type. On the topic type page (instances tab) the user will have to search for topics instead of being shown a list. Similarly, when selecting topics of this type drop-down lists will not be rendered (regardless of what use-control says), but a search dialog will instead be used.

Usage:

has-large-instance-set(person : topic-type)
