Configure Ontology Property Configuration Through Metadata File

Hello!

Here is what I have been doing recently:

  • pivoting a dataset to have values as columns
  • ending up with 100 value columns
  • I need, for each of these columns, to customize:
    • their class
    • their numeric formatting
    • their display name
      • I want to keep a simple code as the property id for better developer experience
      • I want to add a more descriptive name as the display name for better user experience

It would be great to be able to add as a backing dataset of the object type, a metadata json like:

{
    "properties": {
        "column_A_id" : {
            "display_name": "Compressor Rate of the Quantum Unit (A)",
            "numeric_formatting": "a d3 string",
            "class": "my_custom_class"
        }
    }
}

This is a similar FR as # Implementing Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) for ontology management in Palantir Foundry . We acknowledge the FR/need here, and have been internally prototyping early solutions in this space, please stay tuned for more information! (cc @aparson).
