    <p>I have the following situation in python: I am parsing an ontology and i want to keep track of some properties of the ontology and build a data structure with the below characteristics:</p> <p>-there will be a single key to access each value</p> <p>-the value would be another key-value data structure with the following 3 enties:</p> <p>'x':[] a simple list</p> <p>'y':[{'name':value,'type':value}] a list containing specific dictioanry key-values</p> <p>'z':[{'name':value,'type':value}] a list containing specific dictionary key-values</p> <p>According with the above the final data structure that i though was:</p> <pre><code>ontology={'': [{'y': {'type': '','name':''}}],'x':[],'z':[ {'type': '', 'name': ''}]} </code></pre> <p>And finally i want multiple entries of this dinctionary.I do not want to use a list because the index will be an integer and i'd like to index my data through a key.</p> <p>I will fill this data structure inside 3 different for loops.</p> <p>At the first loop i will fill in the ontology dictionary with only the key names..I thought something like :</p> <pre><code> ontology['a']={'a': [{'y': {'type': '','name':''}}],'x':[],'z':[ {'type': '', 'name': ''}]} </code></pre> <p>But is this something been doing in the 'python' standard way.Is there any other more convinient way of doing this because it seems to me somehow weird.</p> <p>In the end i'll have something like this:</p> <pre><code>ontology['a']={'a':[{'y': {'type': '','name':''}}],'x':[],'z':[ {'type': '', 'name': ''}]} ontology['b']={'b':[{'y': {'type': '','name':''}}],'x':[],'z':[ {'type': '', 'name': ''}]} ontology['c']={'c':[{'y': {'type': '','name':''}}],'x':[],'z':[ {'type': '', 'name': ''}]} ontology['d']={'d':[{'y': {'type': '','name':''}}],'x':[],'z':[ {'type': '', 'name': ''}]} </code></pre> <p>At the second loop based on the keys i will fill the x :[] value,which is by itself another dictionary </p> <p>And at the third for loop i will fill the y and z keys.</p> <p>Is this a good approach for this data structure?I also thought of using Classes in order of my code to be more "structured" but i think i would use much more lines of code</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
