For an architectural view of TopBraid Live
click on the thumbnailTopBraid Live™ is an enterprise SOA-capable Semantic Web
application platform optimized for delivering dynamic model-based
applications and rapidly implementing solutions that require integration of data, content, application services and user interactions.
Business benefits that TopBraid Live delivers include:
- A unified, standards-based data integration process - combine data and schemas from internal, external, structured and unstructured sources using W3C standards for expressing and merging data and metadata (RDF/RDFS, OWL, SPARQL) without boundaries.
- Support for the entire application development lifecycle - seamless migration from development in TopBraid Composer to deployment in TopBraid Live.
- Rapid application development – utilize key prebuilt functions, modules and an optimized network interface for TopBraid Ensemble, a Semantic Web Application Assembly Toolkit
- Leverage of existing IT systems - easy integration with existing databases, Web-services, portals, other systems. Quick creation of composite web services from existing data/systems.
TopBraid Live provides an extensive set of ready to use semantic modules that are easily combined, assembled and deployed as Web Services. Based on an open pluggable architecture, as all TopBraid Suite products, TopBraid Live makes it easy to integrate best of breed components – both off the shelf and custom developed.
For example, application developers using TopBraid Live server can:
- Select among a number of database backends such as Oracle 11G, AllegroGraph, Sesame
- Enforce an optimal inference strategy with fine-tuned control using a selection or combination of standard and custom built inferencers, for example:
- server-side reasoning with Oracle 11G
- SPIN – SPARQL-based inferencing that integrates with any RDF database
Key components of TopBraid Live include:
- TopBraid Services – provide a variety of Platform Services such as model management, query brokering, data source conversion / integration, form and display generation, inference orchestration and cache management.
- Java developers can access / extend services using Java APIs for server-side development.
- More than 100 services are also available as SPARQLMotion modules. SPARQLMotion is used to compose and connect RESTfull data services without Java development.
- TopBraid Live Java Server – responsible for communicating between web-based user interfaces and TopBraid Services. Two network protocols are supported:
- An optimized XML based interface for TopBraid Ensemble applications
- A REST Web Services interface for non-TBE applications
