TBC-users, I want to make sure I am using the tool the way it was intended so I have a few questions.
FOAF -- If I go to the canonical URI http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/ using the File:Import..., I end up with a lot of data in TBC that at first seemed very confusing. Then I found an edited FOAF file on Holger's blog (thanks so much) which had these annotated modifications: -- This is a modified version of the official FOAF specification, optimized for editing tools such as TopBraid. Changes include: - removed { ?p rdf:type rdf:Property } on properties that are also owl:DatatypeProperty etc - removed { ?p rdfs:domain owl:Thing } to prevent these properties from showing up on all forms - removed { ?p rdfs:range owl:Thing } especially for inverse properties for the same reason - removed subclass relationships into external ontologies such as wordnet to keep the class tree flat -- * Why is it that the canonical version not be friendly to the editing tools and what is lost by making these edits? * Was it generated from a tool that was too verbose? or Should TBC just filter out this redundant triples? Ultimately, I'm trying to understand these changes such that I too can clean up these ontologies so that they are readable and useful to TBC. Other Ontologies -- I'm looking at playing with DOAP (Description of a Program), DOAC (Description of a Career), EARL (Evaluation and Reporting Language) , etc. Lets take DOAP as a example so I can make sure I am using TBC correctly. I'm assuming that the process is the same: - find the DOAP website http://trac.usefulinc.com/doap - find the ontology. In this case it is not OWL but an RDF-S http://usefulinc.com/ns/doap# - using File:Import... I use import file from web and name the file doap.rdf (should I have done doap.owl? gut says yes) If this process is correct, then it would appear that I need to follow a similar modification process like Holger did for foaf.owl I have another related question but I will ask it in another thread. --tk --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TopBraid Composer Users" group.
