PowerPoint

Definition: Application ontology for Microsoft PowerPoint presentation software, modeling slides, layouts, animations, and presentation-specific elements.

Parent: Artifact

See also: Word, Excel

note

This application ontology is not fully vetted and is subject to changes as we refine the modeling approach for third-party integrations.

Modeling Notes​

  • PowerPoint presentations have hierarchical slide-based structure
  • Each slide contains layout elements, content objects, and formatting
  • Supports animations, transitions, and multimedia integration
  • Presentation flow and navigation patterns are distinct from document-based applications
  • Master slides and templates provide consistent formatting across presentations

Core Classes​

Presentation Structure​

  • PowerPoint Presentation - Complete presentation file (.pptx, .ppt)
  • Slide - Individual presentation slide with content
  • Slide Master - Template defining slide layouts and formatting
  • Slide Layout - Predefined arrangement of content placeholders
  • Section - Logical grouping of related slides

Content Elements​

  • Text Box - Text content containers with formatting
  • Image Object - Pictures, photos, and graphics
  • Shape Object - Geometric shapes, arrows, callouts
  • Chart Object - Data visualizations and graphs
  • Table Object - Structured data in rows and columns
  • Media Object - Audio, video, and interactive content

Design Elements​

  • Theme - Coordinated colors, fonts, and effects
  • Color Scheme - Palette of coordinated colors
  • Font Scheme - Heading and body font combinations
  • Background - Slide background images or patterns
  • Animation - Motion effects for content elements
  • Transition - Effects between slide changes
