You will be much better served, however, by asking specific technical questions on TopBraid Users Group Forum at https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/topbraid-usersIrene Polikoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17834271916697741738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507012841435012041.post-8631816777813178582012-04-14T11:42:58.189-07:002012-04-14T11:42:58.189-07:00Open world assumption adds flexibility and enables...Open world assumption adds flexibility and enables knowledge discover/classification. However, for many practical enterprise applications, it is important to be able to close the world. SPIN (SPARQL Rules) makes this possible. So, do some other rules-based approaches. Typical of RDF, this can be done with a lot of flexibility - closing the world for some operations and leaving it open for others.<br /><br />Keep in mind that this blog entry was not about ontologies in general, but specifically about RDF/Linked Data/Semantic Web ontologies. The second sentence tries to make this point very specific by saying that "As to be expected on the TopBraid Forum, by ontologies he meant specifically ontology models expressed in RDFS/OWL." Thus, for the blog authors the most fundamental differentiation is in RDF itself - its support for globally unique identifiers, data and schema distribution and merging, etc.Irene Polikoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17834271916697741738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507012841435012041.post-64380884490851055562012-03-15T07:14:56.283-07:002012-03-15T07:14:56.283-07:00Hi,

The idea is to access this store through an SPARQL endpoint, making transparent the underlying technology. Is this possible at this moment?<br /><br />Moreover, we are using TDB as our persistent storage, but we are not being able to directly connect to our already existing TDB storage.<br /><br /><br />Regards,<br />Pablo.priesgohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14034371996494176728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507012841435012041.post-15303204909666936542012-02-23T17:51:17.702-08:002012-02-23T17:51:17.702-08:00Bob,

TQ's 'Ongoing Mission,' cited at bottom of your blog: This is precisely what SCR Technologies, Inc. is doing with its novel technology, i.e., developing new models "that support a new generation of dynamic business applications, to boldly integrate data that no one has integrated before." I hope to explore with TopQuadrant how we might collaborate in what appears to be a highly exciting shared mission. I've really appreciated your superb support.

(false versus unknown).<br /><br />Furthermore these two first factors are not 'exact'. With good old EXPRESS (STEP technology) we could also model specialisation/taxonomies and define complex here called where-rules. And as long as you have a clean/complete one-to-one mapping to the implementing system also EXPRESS could abstract from the underlying implementation mechanism (just like you can have a triple store or RDBMS backend for RDF/OWL).

Alas, I am not in London, so we will need to wait for another opportunity to interact.<br /><br />I do follow RDFa even if I still did not get a chance to attend your talk :) In fact, as far as I know, our product, TopBraid Composer, is the only tool that allows one to have an ontology-based approach to RDFa.Irene Polikoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17834271916697741738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507012841435012041.post-30126264765293781652009-07-07T02:49:13.532-07:002009-07-07T02:49:13.532-07:00Hi Irene,
I'm not sure I would admit in publi...Hi Irene,<br /><br />I'm not sure I would admit in public that the reason I don't follow RDFa is because I couldn't get out of bed. :)<br /><br />Anyway...<br /><br />Obviously it's possible to have separate RDF/XML or RDF/N3 pages, and of course you could set up a SPARQL end-point to deliver your triples in all sorts of formats.<br /><br />But that misses the point about why RDFa is unique amongst the various RDF serialisations.<br /><br />It's the only one that can be used within HTML, XHTML, SVG, and so on.<br /><br />Which means that if you have a means of publishing HTML -- and in this day and age, who hasn't -- then you can now publish RDF.<br /><br />By the way, you say: "it is easier to generate RDF file (sic) in addition to HTML file that (sic) it is to generate and insert markups". That's simply not true.<br /><br />First, adding a the attributes to your existing HTML-generating pages in ASP.NET, Rails, PHP or whatever, is very easy; as Google pointed out in their SemTech presentation (that one was in the afternoon ;)), it took partners such as Yelp! around a day to add RDFa and Microformats to their sites. And my presentation showed how using RDFa in HTML made possible a project that would simply not have got off the ground otherwise.<br /><br />But second, adding an additional channel in the way you describe involves fiddling with MIME types and .htaccess files. This is rarely possible for the average blogger, and tricky for the school or small business.<br /><br />So to recap, no-one is saying that this is the only way to publish RDF. But for many people, it is going to be the only way that their data will be able to 'join' the semantic web, and that is crucial for the semweb community.<br /><br />One last thing, I'm not sure why you think that there is no URI generated when parsing. Unless overridden with @about, all triples have as their subject the current document.<br /><br />(Usually we would add an @about="#me" or something like that, to make things clearer in the context of information resources v. resources, but in simple examples we don't always do that.)<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />MarkAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11208049295254078897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507012841435012041.post-26019110944237750712009-07-07T02:31:21.882-07:002009-07-07T02:31:21.882-07:00Hi Irene,

For example, if you post a collection of Event instances (with lat/long/time etc) on some larger web page, then the user could simply mouse over a given Event's description to "see" the triples that are underneath. Browser plug-ins could then allow users to automatically extract those triples to their own calendar etc. But in general I agree with your observation that most other use cases are better handled by SPARQL end points or separate RDF files.Holger Knublauchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13180242480924209321noreply@blogger.com
