# Creating metadata items
The Aristotle Metadata Registry supports the wizard-based creation of a variety of metadata items.
### How to create metadata Items
1. Select either 'Create Metadata' from the dashboard side panel, or the creation tool from the registry header.
**Note:** The header's creation tool links directly to the single item creation wizards for Objects Classes, Properties, Value Domains, Data Element Concepts and Data Elements. Select 'See all...' from the bottom of the list to see the complete 'Create New Metadata' page.
2. Select the creation wizard for the desired metadata item type (see subpages 'Creating a data element or data element concept' and 'Creating a metadata item with a single item creation wizard').
### Single item creation wizards
These wizards are useful if you know you want to create just one item.
This is the form you will see when selecting to create an object class.
Because reuse is important, each wizard will search for the name of your item and give you results if there are any matching or similar to your item. If you would like to create a new item, just type the name, version, workgroup and definition.
If you would like to simply create the item click , or click 'Create item and keep editing'
At any time of the item creation, you can choose to 'Return to item page', 'Save changes and keep editing', or 'Save changes'
After saving the changes, the item will look like the following image:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://help.aristotlemetadata.com/creating-and-editing/creating-metadata-items.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
