TopBraid Composer is an enterprise-class modeling environment for developing Semantic Web ontologies and building semantic applications. Fully compliant with W3C standards, Composer offers comprehensive support for developing, managing and testing configurations of knowledge models and their instance knowledge bases. As part of TopBraid Suite, Composer incorporates a flexible and extensible framework with a published API for developing semantic client/server or browser-based solutions, that can integrate disparate applications and data sources. Implemented as an Eclipse plug-in, Composer serves as a development environment for TopBraid Ensemble™ and for all the applications delivered using TopBraid Live™. Composer is used to develop ontology models, configure data source integration as well as to customize dynamic forms and reports. Extensive Help is provided within the tool for both basic and advanced topics of use. A Getting Started Guide with hands-on exercises is also available. Two versions are available - Standard Edition and Maestro Edition. Standard EditionTopBraid Composer is a professional development environment for W3C's Semantic Web standards RDF Schema, the OWL Web Ontology Language and the SPARQL Query Language. Composer can be used to edit RDFS/OWL files in various formats, and also provides scalable database backends (such as Jena, AllegroGraph, Oracle 11g and Sesame) as well as utilities for importing-from and exporting-to XML, Excel, RDBMs and other data formats. Custom rules are supported through SPARQL Inference Notation (SPIN), Jena rules and the Semantic Web Rule Language (SWRL). Composer provides a comprehensive set of features to cover the whole life cycle of semantic application development. In addition to being a complete ontology editor with refactoring support, Composer also can be used as a run-time environment to execute rules, queries, reasoners and mash-ups. Based on Eclipse, Composer can also be extended with custom Java plug-ins. This supports the rapid development of semantic applications in a single platform. Maestro EditionTopBraid Composer - Maestro Edition (TBC-ME) is a greatly extended version of TopBraid Composer Standard Edition. TBC-ME is optimized to develop web applications based on the TopBraid Live platform. Most notably TBC-ME can be used to assemble Ensemble-based applications as well as to launch its own internal web server for testing applications and to create SPARQLMotion scripts including web services to process data chains and to create custom application functions. Results are significantly improved turn-around times in the application development life cycle. To run TopBraid Ensemble out-of-the-box within TBC-ME, open a web browser and go to http://localhost:8083/tbl/. LicensingTopBraid Composer - Maestro Edition requires a different license key than the Standard Edition. Both versions are available separately, and upgrades from Standard to Maestro Edition can be purchased. See the purchase page for pricing information. TopBraid Composer users that do not decide to purchase Maestro can download and evaluate the full version for a 30 days evaluation period. After that time, the additional capabilities will be disabled. At any time, a different license key can be entered in the Help menu. |
