Tim; As Jeremy suggests, the best way to get it to look like a browser is to use a browser, hence the reference to TBE 3.0/Ensemble.
In the meantime, this can be done directly in Composer with the help of Eclipse. Step 1 is to use an object property. Step 2 is to configure the file types using Preferences > General > Editors > File Associations. Choose whatever internal (to Eclipse) or external application you want. For example, I have *.pdf set to be opened with Acrobat Reader. Step three is to create the property. For example: :MyTaxes :associatedDoc <file:///D:/form1040.pdf> :associatedDoc a owl:ObjectProperty The second triple emphasizing that the object property is used, not a datatype (Composer won't try to "follow" literals). This opens Acrobat and displays the document in the middle pane. Note that this file is local on my D: drive. You can use any valid URL here. -- Scott On Feb 11, 3:47 pm, "Smith, Tim" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > This may be something very simple that I've overlooked or modeled > incorrectly, but here goes... > > I have many instances that have an associated URL.
