Type:Enumeration

From semanticweb.org

This description applies to the old SMW version 0.7 The behavior is somewhat different in SMW 1.0, which ontoworld.org is running.

In SMW 1.0, you can use the special property Allows value with a property of any type. So in SMW 1.0, Enumeration is obsolete, and is just an alias for Type:String since it has the same behavior.

The datatype enumeration was like Type:String but restricts the value of an attribute to a limited set of character sequences. For example, a Problem severity attribute might only permit the values "Enhancement", "Trivial", "Minor", "Normal", "Major", "Critical", and "Blocker".

An attribute of type enumeration must have an article page that uses the special property allows value to list its permissible values. For the example above, the Attribute:Problem severity page would contain:

 [[allows value:=Enhancement]][[allows value:=Trivial]],[[allows value:=Minor]],
 [[allows value:=Normal]],[[allows value:=Major]],[[allows value:=Critical]],[[allows value:=Blocker]]

So the following list of Properties of type “Enumeration” is actually all properties of type “String”.

This type is among the standard datatypes of this wiki.
