Ontology

What the system understands each of your things to be.

Ontology in SigmaPointPi
/ontology

Categories, entity types, relationships and the vocabulary your business actually uses. It is the layer that lets the agent answer questions in your terms rather than in generic ones.

When you call something a job and somebody else calls it a project, the ontology is where that is recorded once.

How to work this page

Record your own vocabulary

The words your team uses. It makes search and the agent work in your language.

Map to standard concepts

Your term links to the underlying concept, so reporting stays comparable while the interface speaks your dialect.

Define the relationships that matter

A job belongs to a customer and has bills against it. Recording that lets figures roll up correctly.

Keep it small

An ontology that describes everything describes nothing usefully. Model the handful of things you actually reason about.

Ontology on iPhone 15 Pro Max

Every figure from the desktop appears here, stacked rather than reduced. Tables scroll inside themselves so the page never moves sideways, and figures keep their separators and their alignment at every width.

Questions people actually ask

Do I need to configure this?

No. Sensible defaults come from your trade and most businesses never touch it. It exists for the ones with genuinely unusual structures.

Does this affect the ledger?

No. The ledger is the ledger. This is the vocabulary layer above it.
