Find the Object Type from an Object Type RID

I have an object type rid (e.g. ri.ontology.main.object-type.... ) and I want to find which Object Type this refers to.
I don’t know which Ontology it is in nor I have previous knowledge about which Object Type it is. I just know this Object Type exists on my Foundry enrollment.

How can I find which Object Type this Object Type RID refers to ?

If all you have is an object type rid: ri.ontology.main.object-type...., there are two ways to figure out which Object type this belongs to through the UI.

  1. In the ontology manager, paste in the rid in the search field. This will search for the object type rid in the ontology that is open.
  2. If you have multiple ontologies in your enrollment, you can ensure you can navigate directly through to the object type, by navigating to the link ontology/object-type-rid/ri.ontology.main.object-type...... (In order for this to work, you need to not have any staged edits in the Ontology Manager). This will then switch the ontology if necessary and open the corresponding object type view.
