A SPARQL endpoint isn't a dataset, but an interface to a dataset, so the only way to load its data into a TopBraid application is to retrieve triples via that interface (for example, with CONSTRUCT/SERVICE queries) and then for TBE to load them into the <urn:x-tb:session> graph or some graph that your app is importing. In other words, you'd have to replicate the data locally as you describe. There is no built-in way to automating the browsing of a remote dataset.
Given the total size of something like DBpedia, the client side caching to give the end user the experience of browsing that that data would be very complex. For example, each click would generate a new query, whose answer may have already been retrieved, etc. It doesn't sound impossible, but I don't know of anyone who's built something like this.

Is it possible to assign a sparql endpoint as the default graph in the TopBraid Ensemble UI so that the various components (i.e. tree, grid, form, etc) query the data in the endpoint? Suppose, for example, I wanted to use TopBraid Ensemble as a user interface into DbPedia. Is that possible? I know I can accomplish this using sparqmotion in conjunction with sparql relays, but that seems to be a lot of work and limits the functionality. I also don't want to replicate all the data in the endpoint into my workspace (or memory). thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Group "TopBraid Suite Users", the topics of which include TopBraid Composer, TopBraid Live, TopBraid Ensemble, SPARQLMotion and SPIN.
