Both Implication
The modifier Both means that the search is performed only to those property-values set as Constraints on both sides - so both antecedent and consequent.
We have a dedicated page for this: Universal Implication!
If you want to search for some relationship of a property-value with another property-value the Implication Both search might be the right search to do, and it let you select which constraint you want to have in the search, as Properties and/or Languages.
Whichever language has no Subject Verb ( No value) word order also has Verb Object ( Yes value)?
Select the Implication Both in the Advanced Panel
CONSTRAINTS:
- Subject Verb Property, only No values.
- Verb Object Property, only Yes values.
Think to a dataset like the following:
Property Name | Faroese | Fijian | French | Finnish |
---|---|---|---|---|
Subject Verb | Yes | No | No | Yes |
Adjective Degree | No | Yes | Yes | - |
Verb Object | No | Yes | Yes | - |
In the dataset above two languages has the combination
Subject Verb:No ==> Verb Object:Yes
The resulting languages are: Fijian and French.
But, in general, you might want to ask something like:
Of course the Both Implication search can do this. Go to the Search Page, select the Subject Verb and Verb Object as Constraint Properties for the search.
Select the Implication Both in the Advanced Panel
CONSTRAINTS:
- Subject Verb Property, all values.
- Verb Object Property, all values.
and for the following dataset:
Property Name | Faroese | Fijian | French | Finnish |
---|---|---|---|---|
Subject Verb | Yes | No | No | Yes |
Adjective Degree | No | Yes | Yes | - |
Verb Object | No | Yes | Yes | - |
The result it's this:
Property Antecedent : Value | Property Consequent : Value | Number of Languages | Languages |
---|---|---|---|
Subject Verb : No | Verb Object : Yes | 2 | French, Fijian |
Verb Object : Yes | Subject Verb : No | 2 | French, Fijian |
Verb Object : No | Subject Verb : Yes | 1 | Faroese |
So, the Adjective Degree property is completely ignored, performing the Both search with two others properties as Constraints.
Of course you can!
Now we add to the Contraints select above the Languages Fijian, French and Finnish.
CONSTRAINTS:
- Subject Verb Property, all values.
- Verb Object Property, all values.
- Only Languages: Fijian, French, Finnish.
The result will be the following:
Property Antecedent : Value | Property Consequent : Value | Number of Languages | Languages |
---|---|---|---|
Subject Verb : No | Verb Object : Yes | 2 | French, Fijian |
Verb Object : Yes | Subject Verb : No | 2 | French, Fijian |
If you don't select any Property / Language / Property-Value the action performed by the search engine is to search without any constraint. Each Constraint box is independent from the next one: selecting only Property constraints, the engine will perform the search through all values for those Properties in all available Languages in the dataset.
There are limits on the size of searchable entries: in case your search will overpass the number of allowed by the search engine - usually on very huge datasets/groups - you will be redirected again to the Search Page with a notification on top page asking to add some constraint to the search.
