Hi Daniel,
Jeremy (and others) voiced serious objections to RDFex because it is "non standard'. I understand where you are coming from. However, automating MIREOT (or similar) process for a specific organization is considerably less work than automating it in the way sufficiently generic for the inclusion in the product. The latter will require quite a bit of conceptual design work. In order to make such investment we need to gain confidence in the approach becoming a standard best practice. I am glad to hear that Linked Data community is developing best practices in support of this requirement. Hopefully, they'll publish, socialize and standardize these making it possible for us to support them in TopBraid.

Earlier in the year I did develop a SPARQLMotion script to perform a MIREOT like process and was very pleased that TBC made it fairly easy to do. Having changed employers however, I am faced with recreating the work which seems unfortunate. So I've experienced the need for the feature twice in independent organizations within a relatively short period of time (I'm not suggesting it, just supporting it). I think its insightful that a parallel and mature ontology community found a need for treating references to external triples in this way. I understand that the linked data community is developing a best practice to avoid triple bloat stemming from imported ontologies that is similar. A couple of years ago TQ offered RDFex as a partial imports solutions to address the same need, but the server requirement lacked some convenience. I anticipate that the interest for a built-in MIREOT like feature in TBC would only grow as the semantic web gains adoption and ontologies proliferate. Please consider it for a future version of the product. thank you, -Daniel -- 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.
