Using Virtual Metadata in Context Graph Models

In addition to creating models using metadata that stored locally, you can also use virtual metadata that comes from a Spectrum Discovery source in your model. Using this feature you can link virtual entities (from federated data from outside of Context Graph) to physical entities (which do exist in Context Graph). You can also create models that consist solely of virtual entities. Federated data can come from an application such as Salesforce or Siebel, a database, or even a flat file, among other sources.

Connect relationships to virtual entities	This procedure describes how to add a relationship to a virtual entity.
Example: Virtual Metadata in Context Graph Models	This example depicts how you might combine physical and virtual entities to graph relationships between customers, purchases, and products.
