Examples of Content Type Relationships

You can associate content items of related content types with each other using content relationships. Use the Relationships tab on the Edit Content Type page to define content type relationships. The following scenarios illustrate the use of content type relationships.

Tracking Product Expertise

The Resource Manager component of Oracle Fusion Trading Community Model uses content type relationships to track the areas of expertise of workers. Using the predefined content type relationship where the Categories content type is a parent of Products, and Products is a parent of Components; resource managers can keep track of the categories, products, and components that they consider as areas of expertise for their resources.

Note: Because these content types and relationships apply only to the Resource Manager component of Oracle Fusion Trading Community Model, this product is the only predefined content subscriber to these content types.

Specifying Target Outcomes for Goals

Workers can manage their goals by associating their goals with target outcomes, which are content types such as Competencies and Memberships. You can set up a relationship on the Competencies content type where Competencies is supported by Goals. Workers can then set up goals that have a specific competency as a target outcome.
