TopBraid Enterprise Vocabulary Net Demos

Introducing TopBraid EVN

An overview of the features of TopQuadrant's web-based solution for simplified management of interconnected controlled vocabularies.

Editing with TopBraid EVN

How to add, delete, and edit concepts with TopBraid EVN. Also: how to navigate and search vocabularies, and how to see a history of edits made.

Managing Change with TopBraid EVN

Creating a Working Copy and putting it through workflow stages to production, including reports and coordination with other users.

TopBraid Suite Demos

A short tutorial from Dean Allemang, Chief Scientist of TopQuadrant, on how to combine data from USAspending.gov, with FEA and US Government ontologies from oegov.org. Through the power of RDF and OWL and the software capabilities of TopBraid, data consolidation, reporting and other insight discovery are demonstrated.  View Demo (~13 minutes)

Developing and Deploying Applications with TopBraid Suite

An overview of the TopBraid Suite products and capabilities of the TBS 3.0 release are given in the Spring 2009 Webinar series.  Follow links to the recordings on this page: 2009 Webinar Series

SPARQLMotion Demos

SPARQLMotion is a visual scripting language for semantic data processing available in both TopBraid Live and TopBraid Composer Maestro Edition

Creating a SPARQLMotion Web Service for Data Transformation: Part 1

This video demonstrates a SPARQLMotion web service that imports a spreadsheet, transforms it by running SPIN rules and outputs an RDF graph. The service demonstrated here is generic. It can convert any input into any output. To use it with a different input, simply change the arguments: URI of the input (source) and URIs for the schema and the transformation rule set. Transformation rules shown here were created with the SPINMap feature of TBC. Alternatively, they could have been written by hand as SPARQL queries or templates.  View Demo (~8 minutes)

After seeing the video, you can try the service yourself by downloading the example TopBraid Composer project. Unzip it into your TBC-ME workspace and make sure that there is no more than one xform.ex1.topbraid.com folder in the unzipped folder hierarchy. Right click in the Navigator view in TBC and select Import… In the Import dialog, select General > Existing Projects into Workspace and click Next. On the Import Projects page, browse to your workspace location, select the unzipped project folder and click on Finish. You will now see the new project in the Navigator.

Expand it and open the file containing the script, register the web service by selecting ‘Refresh/Display SPARQLMotion functions’ from the Scripts menu, then run the service by clicking on this link To view the result click here to bring up a sample TBE application. More about the URLs can be found under URLs.txt in the project.

Source for this web service can be not only a spreadsheet as shown in the video, but any other file TopBraid is able to auto-convert to RDF. This includes .xml files and, of course, any serialization of RDF. The output module creates a new file at the specified path inside the workspace and with the specified base URI. The serialization is derived from the file name according to TopBraid's conventions, e.g. files ending with .ttl will be written in Turtle format. This includes writing out .xls and .xml files.

 

There are two companion videos to this demo:

Creating a SPARQLMotion Web Service for Data Transformation: Part 2

This video describes how to create a SPARQLMotion web service. SPARQLMotion is a way to create semantic data transformation and data integration services. We create a RESTful service that takes a source file, performs some transformations and produces the output. The script was demonstrated in the part 1. In this video we focus on how to create such a service.

Creating a SPARQLMotion Script

This 5-minute video demonstrates how to create a SPARQLMotion script with TopBraid Composer Maestro Edition. We start by importing a news feed and then convert the resulting RDF triples into a spreadsheet file. While doing so, we also explain the graph editing capabilities. View

(Note:  since this recording was made, we have added a wizard for more conveniently creating scripts. To create the script one no longer needs to start with an empty file and do import. It is now simply about selecting New -> RDF/SPARQLMotion file from the menu. All the needed imports are done automatically.)

SPINMap: SPARQL-based Ontology Mapping

This video tutorial introduces SPINMap, a SPARQL-based mapping language to describe transformations between two RDF or OWL ontologies. SPINMap is using SPIN templates and functions as a declarative mapping modeling language. These mappings can be edited either graphically or directly on RDF level. SPINMap models can be edited with TopBraid Composer SE, but executed with TBC Free Edition or the open source SPIN API. View Demo (~22 minutes)

Getting Started with TopBraid Composer

Walks through the basic steps after Composer has been installed. In this demo we create a new project with an OWL file, then we create classes, properties and instances and show how to access visualization and source code. View

Geography and Mapping Support

This video demonstrates how to access geospatial information with Composer. We assign geographical coordinates to resources from a map and then perform some types of queries to find resources with specific logical characteristics. View

Spreadsheet Import

This video shows how to use TopBraid's spreadsheet importer to lift tabular data into an OWL ontology. View

Importing arbitrary XML files

This screencam demo shows how to import an XML file into TopBraid Composer (Maestro Edition), runs a SPARQL query over the XML data and performs other transformations. Finally, an HTML file is imported to OWL. Note that this video still uses the term xmap for what we now call Semantic XML. View

Linking with DBpedia

This short video demonstrates how to link a domain model with corresponding DBpedia pages. This feature can be used to link existing ontologies and instances with other Semantic Web vocabularies. View
