Hi J,

TopBraid does some background inferencing to infer extra superclass  
triples. This makes sure that any class has at least one named  
superclass, so that it can be reached from a tree traversal. You would  
need to either re-implement this logic yourself, or activate  
inferencing on sesame, or simply include the inference graph when you  
export the TBC to Sesame. Making matters a bit more complicating, the  
triple

owl:Thing rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:Resource

has been added by TopBraid into its system triples model, which is  
also imported by any project but cannot easily be exported as well.  
So, in this case I would recommend to replicate this same triple in  
your own file before exporting to Sesame, from the form of owl:Thing.

Regards,
Holger
