Peter; The short answer is that both will be supported. Our semantic platform includes several approaches for semantic application development. This is best depicted in Slide 10 of our recent Open House presentation (http://www.topquadrant.com/docs/presentations/ TQOpenHouse-TopBraidSuite-03-26-10.pdf), which shows the TopBraid Suite stack of technologies for building Semantic Web Applications. These options provide powerful and flexible tools to address our customer's many types of requirements.
TBE and UISPIN provide user interface options that meet different types of requirements. It is also important to note that TBS supports RESTful Web Services. Any program that can make Web Service calls (submit a URL and receive text) can interface with TopBraid Live. If our UI technologies don’t meet your needs, you could use a different UI platform, or just use HTML, to access TBL services. Of course, we feel that there are many advantages of using the UI technologies we provide. We do not expect UISPIN to replace TBE. We do believe UISPIN is a better alternative than Semantic JSP, being more aligned with SPARQL and RDF technologies. JSP remains an alternative, but our plan is emphasize UISPIN as a text rendering tool. Building Flex applications is by no means required to build TopBraid applications. BTW, no knowledge of Flex development is needed to deploy applications using Ensemble, and Ensemble has proven versatile enough to build a wide range of applications. Hopefully that helps some, and if further clarification is needed, let us know! -- Scott On Jun 16, 2:43 am, Peter Bruhn Andersen <[email protected]> wrote: > I have been wondering, will Topquadrant replace Flex with UISPIN for > user interface creation in the future? > Can you (Topquadrant) give us some insight in what your plans are.
