Step 3: Apply Local Contexts Labels to a dataset

Prerequisite: Labels must already exist in the data warehouse from the previous step, Fetch Labels from the Local Contexts Hub.

In Windmill, open the app Guardian Connector Local Contexts Annotations (summary: GC Local Contexts Annotations). It uses a three-step flow.

Step 1 — Select dataset and label set​

Select dataset and label set

  • Dataset — Choose the warehouse Table you want to annotate. Datasets are the same tables you use elsewhere in Guardian Connector.
  • Local Contexts Label set — Choose the localcontexts_… table produced by Local Contexts: Fetch Labels. If nothing appears here, the fetch script has not run successfully yet.

Step 2 — Choose TK and BC labels​

Choose TK and BC labels

  • Pick Traditional Knowledge labels and Biocultural Labels from the options loaded from your selected label-set table.
  • If you have already applied Labels to this dataset before, the app will show you which Labels are already applied, and you can adjust the selection.

Step 3 — Review and save​

Review and save

  • Confirm the dataset name and the list of Labels to apply.
  • Use Save & Finish to write the mapping.

What gets written​

  • The app does not modify records in the main dataset table.
  • It writes to a companion mapping table named {dataset_name}__lc_labels, creating it if needed.
  • Saving replaces the previous mapping for that dataset (existing records for that mapping table are cleared, then the new selection is inserted).

Now that you have applied Labels to a dataset, you can use the Labels for data cataloging, metadata tagging, and discovery purposes.
