# Set the workspace ontology

Set the workspace ontology [#set-the-workspace-ontology]

The ontology tells agents what the workspace is for: a mission and a list of goals.

You need a role with **Manage Workspace Settings**, such as **Admin**. Open **Settings** > **Ontology** under **Workspace · "*name*"**.

Write the mission and goals [#write-the-mission-and-goals]

1. Under **Workspace Mission**, describe in a sentence or two what the workspace exists to do.
2. Under **Workspace Goals**, select **Add** for each goal, then enter a **Title** and, optionally, a **Description**.
3. Select **Save**.

The trash icon next to a goal removes it; select **Save** again afterwards.

Which agents use it [#which-agents-use-it]

* Only agents with **Use Ontology** turned on in their settings receive the ontology. Turning it on changes the agent's draft, so it takes effect once the agent is published. See [Configure an agent](/docs/platform/agents/configure) and [Test and publish](/docs/platform/agents/test-and-publish).
* Those agents get the workspace's mission and goals, together with the company's value proposition, values and goals, on every run in this workspace.
* The company part is the same in every workspace and is set by your Alomana administrator.

To set the mission and goals with an API key, see [Workspace context and templates](/docs/api/workspaces/context-and-templates) in the API documentation.
