Creating a semantic type using the API - Cloud

You can create semantic types.

The following workflow applies to anyone creating semantic type using the Talend Dictionary Service API:

1. Create a semantic type in sandbox status, which is the initial status of a semantic type.
2. Edit the type of your semantic type:
   • The DICT type, based on an open or closed list of values.
   • The REGEX type that compares your data against a preselected regular expression.
   • The COMPOUND type, under which you can group several existing types.
3. Save the semantic type in sandbox status as a draft.
4. Check the semantic type status.
5. Publish the draft to make the semantic type available in Talend applications.
