Importing and Selecting Resource Templates

• Author and Remark shown for each Resource Template in the list
• List is sortable by Template Name, ID, or Author
• List is sorted by default by Template Name, and newly added Templates are automatically sorted
• Column text wraps
• Resource Template JSON is downloadable (Note: You're downloading JSON for a Resource Template, not a Profile, so you can't load that same JSON back in to the Editor or the Profile Editor, both of which require Profiles. If you need to load a Resource Template you can try https://github.com/LD4P/sinopia/wiki/How-to-turn-a-Resource-Template-into-an-importable-Profile)
• When you load a revised version of an existing Resource Template, changes to Template Name, Author or Remark are reflected immediately in the list

Cataloging

• Minted URI and confirmation message appear when you Save & Publish
• This minted URI is deferenceable (paste in a browser and see your created statements)
• Repeats of repeatable items are removable
• Lookup fields allow you to enter a URI or literal instead of selecting a value from the lookup
• Fields that expect a URI warn you if you enter a literal
• URIs entered into fields are clickable
• Editor validates whether mandatory fields are filled in within nested Resource Templates

New Feature: Load RDF

• Given a set of triples (including a triple specifying what Resource Template to load the triples into), Sinopia loads your triples, creating a new resource description. (To get a model of triples to load, choose a Resource Template, fill in some fields, click Preview. Paste these triples into the Load RDF tab, supplying a URI inside the empty subject position <>. The subject URL is not significant. Enter the same subject URI in the Base URI field.)

Profile Creation

• New option to specify Sinopia as a source for lookups (Note that the Sinopia search is in progress)

Other

• Sinopia Editor version number now visible upper left of Editor window
• Issue templates for bug reports and feature requests and updated Help menu with direct links to those templates
