Object sets and search
Object sets and search are the read model that turns ontology data into reusable operational context.
Repository signals
The ontology backend already exposes:
- global ontology search through
/api/v1/ontology/search - graph access through
/api/v1/ontology/graph - object-set routes under
/api/v1/ontology/object-sets - object neighbors and object-view routes on individual objects
The relevant components are visible in:
services/ontology-service/src/handlers/search.rsservices/ontology-service/src/handlers/object_sets.rsservices/ontology-service/src/domain/object_sets.rs
Why this matters
Object sets are often the handoff format between capabilities:
- search results
- saved operational cohorts
- workflow targets
- analytics slices
- graph exploration pivots
In mature ontology platforms, saved object sets become shared resources used across applications. OpenFoundry is already pointing in that direction.
Relationship to applications
This capability should feed:
- object exploration UIs
- rule and action execution scopes
- reports and dashboards
- map and graph experiences
