Follow these steps to add an Object Type.

Step 1. Go to the Manage interface of the GNOWSYS instance.
Step 2. Click on Add tab.
Step 3. Click on Object Type link. You will be presented with a Add Object Type form.
Step 4. Enter an Id for the Object Type. This id should be unique (this is mandatory). Also enter BaseName for the Object Type, this BaseName will be used for displaying the links on the GNOWSYS interface. Select the Object Types to which the new Object Type belongs, you can edit it later to add more. If it is a super class (or not yet clear) you need not choose any here.
Step 5. Add information to the rest of the fields in the form. Choose what attribute types are part of this Object Type. If the required Attribute Type is not available in the form for selection, this means you did not create a pool of Attribute Types. We will try to make addition of new Attribute Types from this form itself in future.
Then click on the submit button. If everything is correct you will be presented with a confirmation screen.
