Hello,
My first question is somewhat of a newbie issue to TBC. I
wanted to do something with Genealogy for a project and so I started
by converting a couple GEDCOM files to XML. GEDCOM is the format used
by Genealogy - it is standard, as it were.
So, the XML file returned has no namespace definitions. I
thought I'd make certain tags appear as sub-properties and sub-classes
of other vocabulary classes and properties. How would one go about
doing this, what's going to be the best way? Import it into a RDF
file? Or just open the XML file in TBC and import other vocabs? I'm
not sure how to then get from an arbitrary XML file into an OWL or RDF
file.
Oh, how hard would it be to take one large XML file and also
produce individual files for each defined person in the XML version of
the GEDCOM - so I would have one large RDF file and several smaller
files?
I have a couple other questions. I am using TBC - Maestro
Version still in trial period. The personal server is mentioned.
Does it need to be installed somewhere special for it to work? I
tried browsing to the link given and nothing came up. I thought that
the personal server came with ME.
I finished the overview tutorial and I'm going through the API
tutorial document that is about 71 pages long. Are there any other
documents that I should read, or tutorials, to get a feel for what can
be done? I was wanting to see about generating RDFa and so I had
skipped a few chapters that seemed to deal with the TBE - Ensemble,
which I thought was a separate product from what I downloaded.
I asked a lot of questions here, I hope that they can be addressed
individually... thanks so much for your help...
One last, how does TBC compare with a product like Protege from
Stamford? Would there be a reason to use them together. Protege
seems to be aimed at specifically creating ontologies and they don't
support working with Instance data too well.
Thanks,
Bruce
