Getting started with the TopQuadrant product line. Last week was my first week working at TopQuadrant , and I spent three days in a class given by one of my new co-workers, Scott Henninger. I only had a skeletal idea of what the components of TopBraid Suite did before, and now that I have a better idea, I'm very impressed. (I may be wrong on one or two details below, but I'm still the new guy.) I had the impression that the core original product, TopBraid Composer, was mostly for designing and editing RDFS/OWL schemas and ontologies. It's very good at doing those, but it also makes a very good interface for dealing directly with the data described by these models. Being built on Eclipse, the various panes (or, in Eclipse parlance, "views") of the main window let you see an ontology or a file of data from several angles at once and refine the model by pointing, clicking, dragging, and editing dialog boxes.

SPIN is a collection of RDF vocabularies enabling the use of SPARQL to define constraints and inference rules on Semantic Web models. Best Practices - VoCamp Wiki. This page is intended as a collection of best practices and lessons learned with regard to vocabulary development. Discussion of the proposed practices should happen on the Talk Page (click on the discussion tab above the article). [edit] Modelling You can spend years on knowledge modelling, tie yourself in knots and get very philosophical.

This is isn’t that – it’s a quick guide to rapid prototyping of an RDF Schema, that can be used, and reused. All these steps are iterative. 1. Define your scope, purpose and competency questions. Scope is about what goes in, what shouldn’t go in, and the level of detail you want to go into. Purpose: what are you going to use it for? Competency questions: this is effectively the test set. 2. 3. 4. Most of the references out there are for more complex ontology modelling than is needed for RDFS.
