Sven, I just tried a similar import, and it worked as I expected.
Just to make sure I understand correctly, Category is the first column of your tab-delimited file, and it's declared as a class in the target spreadsheet, and all the other columns of the tab-delimited file are properties of the Category instances, right? Also, what release of TBC are you running, and on what platform? Thanks, Bob DuCharme TopQuadrant -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sven Miersch Sent: Thursday, July 07, 2011 12:45 PM To: TopBraid Suite Users Subject: [topbraid-users] Topbraid Composer: class error when importing a spreadsheet into an existing ontology Hi, I have the following problem with importing an excel spreadsheet into an existing ontology: Environment: I use two files: one for the schema definition (core.rdf) and one for the instances (fact.rdf). The fact.rdf has imported the core.rdf, so that the schema in fact.rdf is also known. The core.rdf should be used for different facts with different namespaces (each of them in its own rdf-file). For this reason, the scheme must/should be outsourced. My procedure: Now I want to import my facts from an Excel spreadsheet. For this I open the fact.rdf and use the import function of the TBC. There I choose the option "Import Tab-Delimited Spreadsheet File" from the category "TopBraid Composer". In the following Assistant-Window I select my file and choose the option "Import to the current ontology (uses the current namespace". I skip the following window with the Next button. The Problem: The class Category, that I have defined in the first column (first row) of my spradsheet wasn't found. This class exist in my schema definition core.rdf. So I think, that the import function dosn't work with imported classes (an other namespace). But the imported properties (also defined in core.rdf) are known. Verification that my spreadsheet works: I have imported the same spradsheet into my core.rdf and it works. Can anyone help me? How can I use the 2 files and the import from an spreadsheet with classes from an other namespace? I don't understand that the TBC identifies imported properties, but not work with imported classes.
