If you're new to the Battery Knowledge Base, get started by doing the following how-to guides. They'll both help you get set up and teach you a bit about how the Battery Knowledge Base works. | |||

# Troubleshooting: Member vs. Member Of? | |||
## '''Member''': if you want to associate yourself or your institutional affiliation with a Project, note that you go to the Project and Edit data there, '''not''' Edit data on your entity. | ==== How to add your User entity to an organization: ==== | ||
You can add yourself to an organization (typically, your employer but also other types of organizations like workgroups or research groups like Battery 2030+). But this is done differently from a Project. | |||
# Find your organization. You can use search or this Category: [[:Category:OSW1969007d5acf40539642877659a02c23]] | |||
# Click on that Project's name to find their entity page. | |||
# At the top, there are two edit buttons: '''Edit data''' and '''Edit'''. | |||
# Click on Edit data and scroll down to find the Member info box. | |||
# Click the + sign to add a new node. | |||
# Type in your name in the search box and click on the right entry from the search suggestions. | |||
# Click Save. | |||
# Finished! | |||
# Troubleshooting: Should you use Member vs. Member Of? What's the difference? | |||
## '''Member person(s)''': if you want to associate yourself or your institutional affiliation with a Project, note that you go to the Project and Edit data there, '''not''' Edit data on your entity. [Actually, does it matter?] | |||
## '''Member Of''': if you want to associate yourself to your institutional affiliation, you edit your entity page. If your organization belongs to a larger organizational unit, then you edit your organization's entity page. If you put the organization as a '''Member Of''' the project (this shouldn't be allowed anyway, but you may be confused as to why), it means your project would own your organization (which probably isn't true). | ## '''Member Of''': if you want to associate yourself to your institutional affiliation, you edit your entity page.

# If you've never edited Wikipedia before or worked on any other kind of wiki, reading the introduction and basic five pillars of this page are extremely helpful to understanding what a successful wiki culture requires: {{Template:Viewer/Link|page=|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:A_primer_for_newcomers|label=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:A_primer_for_newcomers}}. | |||
# In essence, Wikipedia has already developed processes and procedures that solve a lot of common problems and the BatteryKB doesn't need to reinvent the wheel (at least, completely). | |||
# One of the best aspects about wikis in general is that you can learn nearly everything by simply copying what you see in a good page. However, this is more difficult in the BatteryKB due to how its ontological structuring. | |||
# If you have worked on Wikipedia or another wiki, you will find that the BatteryKB operates differently. This is because the BatteryKB is built fundamentally on an ontological infrastructure. This means essentially that '''everything''' is classified as a categorical object with defined relationships to other objects, and ''nothing'' should exist outside of this framework. | |||
# That means, compared to other wikis where you might simply create a page by writing on a blank slate and then link it to other places, you first instead go the category to which that object would belong and create it from there along with defining some of its necessary traits. | |||
## Example: if I wanted to create a page for myself in Wikipedia, I would create an article called Samson Y. Lai, and then write my biography and click Save. However, unless another Wikipedia article links to my article or vice versa, my article would essentially be {{Template:Viewer/Link|page=|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Orphan|label=orphaned}} and difficult to find except by explicit search. A person or bot editor would also later need to manually add Categories, such as "Person" and "Scientist" and "American", which can be difficult to assign or define after the fact. | |||
## Conversely, in the BatteryKB, to make a page or rather "entity/object" which represents me, I go the the pre-existing Category called "Users" and create a new User. This User object has pre-defined parameters, such as name, role, location, and relevant relationships to other objects (e.g., Institutional Affiliation). In this way, the parameters are consistently used by all objects (no issues of "Person" vs. "Persons" vs. "person", etc.) and thus, these parameters are usable and readable by machines. This also prevents orphan articles. | |||
## This approach also applies to any other new entry: first find the category that object would belong to, then create it under that category and fill in the important parameters. | |||
## For advanced users: some relationship parameters are pre-defined, but it is possible to add new parameters to a whole category. This should be done in consultation with those involved with curating the ontological infrastructure so as to be consistent and organized. | |||
=== How to contribute to the wiki === | |||
OK, now you should be set up with the basics of a user profile and understand the basic mechanics of how the BatteryKB is built. Now, you want to start making real contributions to the content. Here are some how-to guides for specific actions when creating wiki content. | |||
