Copy Ontologies

Copying an ontology allows you to make changes to the structure without affecting the projects that the original ontology is attached to.

from encord import EncordUserClient

user_client: EncordUserClient = EncordUserClient.create_with_ssh_private_key(
    "<your_private_key>",
    # For US platform users use "https://api.us.encord.com"
    domain="https://api.encord.com",
)

ontology = user_client.get_ontology("<ontology_hash>")
new_ontology = user_client.create_ontology(
    "copy ontology",
    description="<my ontology description>",
    structure=ontology.structure,
)
