SPIN is very useful for defining sophisticated SPARQL rules that map instances from one class to instances of another one. TopBraid includes SPINMap vocabulary ( <http://spinrdf.org/spinmap> http://spinrdf.org/spinmap) - a collection of reusable design patterns that reflect typical best practices in ontology mapping. SPINMap models can be executed in conjunction with other SPARQL rules by a SPIN engine.
The main advantage of SPINMap is that it provides a high-level mapping language suitable for graphical edits. TopBraid Composer includes a visual editor that makes it easy to establish ontology mappings using drag and drop, and filling in forms. To get started use File > New > RDF/OWL/SPIN File... and then activate the check box for "SPINMap Ontology Mapping Vocabulary". Import ontologies you are planning to map. Select the class you want to start mapping, and switch to the Diagram tab. Use drag and drop (e.g. from the Classes view) to add other classes to the Diagram. If the SPINMap namespace is present, the Diagram will provide additional capabilities and use a different layout algorithm than usual. You will be able to visually connect classes and specify different mappings.

If yes, what must be done. I download "TBC-getting started" and "TBC-feature" documents from your site. but I don't know if this project is usefull for my work to map some RDFS files in a course project. thanks. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Group "TopBraid Suite Users", the topics of which include Enterprise Vocabulary Network (EVN), TopBraid Composer, TopBraid Live, TopBraid Ensemble, SPARQLMotion, SPARQL Web Pages and SPIN.
