Here is a shortened version in case that gets mangled in email transmission: http://bit.ly/a23wWz RDFa is a way to represent triples within web pages, and TopBraid can read RDFa from pages on the web. In the Help, see TopBraid Composer > Import and Export > Import external information for more on this. The decision to use XML is based on the needs of an application. For example, publishing applications often use XML, so if you were going to extract data from a triplestore and feed it to a publishing system, it might want it in XML conforming to a particular DTD or schema. The chapter of the Application Development Quickstart Guide that you mentioned describes an approach for this. The example shows how to create HTML, but you could use the same technique to create any XML that you wanted. SPARQL Web Pages is another option for creating HTML or XML from within TopBraid that offers a lot of great possibilities; the chapter in question focuses on XSLT in order to demonstrate the XSLT processor module that is included as part of SPARQLMotion.

I was returning to see about the differences in terms of what can be done with TBC in terms of creating web applications using the different versions of TBC, specifically Maestro Edition. It would be interesting to see practical applications of Semantic Web tools for creating applications. I'll post what was written earlier, the introduction by Bob was in a link that got cutoff. The other link is to a pdf and the full link was posted. I'm not sure why the first link was cutoff. On a different matter, I was curious in looking at the pdf file and where it talks about XSLT. I wonder what goes into a decision whether to use something like RDFa versus using XSLT and XML. Anyway, that link that text with the links I was mentioning is below.. Thanks, Bruce - With TBC Maestro Edition and TB Live, you can also take advantage of SPARQL Web Pages, which let you generate HTML (and XML) by embedding SPARQL queries in HTML or XML template documents. I wrote a very basic introduction at http://topquadrantblog.blogspot.com/2010/11/getting-started-with-spar... pages.html and it points to other resources that show more about the full power of this technique. Trying to build full applications around the free edition will only take you so far. If you take a look at the Application Development Quickstart Guide at http://www.topquadrant.com/docs/tbc/AppDevQuickstartGuide.pdf, you'll get an idea of some of the things you can do to build web services and interactive applications for end users with TBC Maestro Edition that can then be deployed to TopBraid Live. -- 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.
