Hi Scott, Thanks for the help.
I had done what you suggested - I imported the model containing the properties I wanted to use into the new module model. They were available to the Create from SPIN Template window. I changed them to use the SM namespace but this did not solve the problem. The problem I'm running into is at the java level. When I try to get the value pointed to by the given property, the compiler does not recognize SM.targetUser. It does recognize the built-in SM: values such as sm:outputVariable. This is because these values are declared in org.topbraid.sparqlmotion.vocabulary.SM. Do I need to create my own vocabulary class to use my properties at the java level? If not, how do I determine the value pointed to by a property used in a SPIN constraint that is not part of a built-in vocabulary?
