Answer This question was answered by Charles Betz, on Wednesday, July 12, 2006 10:53 PM

Answer:
Resolved this through further examination and experimentation. The minimal fields for a complete data dictionary loaded in via Attribute appear to be:

Entity Name
Name
Column Name
Data Element
Model

and Name, Column Name, and Data Element can all be the same. Both Entities and Attributes are created and correctly related.

I have been working with the entity/attribute import all afternoon, and have successfully imported entities and data elements, but cannot link the two together. Inspecting the various exports, it seems that the Attribute definition is where I can tie the two together, but on attempting to import a .csv file of structure:

Entity Name
Name
Description

where Name is actually Attribute name, I get:

"The 'Data' property must be supplied" <OK>
"The Attribute definition xxx could not be added into the encyclopedia. Perhaps the Attribute type is not enabled. Load abandoned."

Help appreciated.
