Leonard, first, to answer the question on whether this use case is a
supported, the answer is "no". TopBraid Suite, including TopBraid
Composer has a number of mechanisms for importing and including
existing RDF/RDFS/OWL constructs. In particular, if your scenario is
to move a definition from one model to another, I'd direct your
attention to Help > How to? > Refactor ontologies.
Holger also mentions using SPARQLMotion to import files and snippets
into your model. The is a very flexible
power tool that will support moving data from one model to another.
If you wish to work with "source code", i.e. a text serialization
format, I'd suggest using the Turtle syntax, which is more human-
readable and editable, and has better performance characteristics when
loading the text serialization. You can open a file in its text
serialization by right-clicking on a file in the Navigator viewer and
choosing Open With… > Text Editor.
Insofar as editing the Source Code sub-tab is concerned, it appears
you are attempting to replace the definition of owl:Thing with a class
definition. This would give the behavior you describe. Note that the
interface will only show the definitions the interface is able to
process correctly. If you need to see all of your data, either use
the Triples View (Window > Show View > Triples) or view the triples in
the SPARQL View (to get all triples, apply this query: SELECT * WHERE
{?s ?p ?o}).
For re-installing TBC, just unzip the download into a different
directory on your machine and run the executable from that directory
(i.e. there is no need to delete old versions). In terms of system
stability, make sure you don't edit any files in the TopBraid folder
in the workspace. If you let us know what the startup errors are,
we'd be happy to look into it (also let us know what version of TBC is
used and the OS it is installed on).
