Hi Jack,

 

Tab-delimited import wizard has an option: Import to the current ontology: By 
using this checkbox, you can choose to import the spreadsheet to the currently 
selected ontology.

 

Current ontology is the one you have opened and active in TBC. This will allow 
you to add data to the existing graph and to resources in the graph. It will 
try to match info in the spreadsheet with resources in the ontology  and allows 
you to map columns in the spreadsheet with the existing properties in the model.

 

However, you are asking how to create new properties and associate them with 
classes. In other words, you need to import schema rather than data. The best 
approach is probably to use the Excel importer and then run SPARQL queries to 
transform the information the way you want. It is up to you if you want to 
create restrictions or domain/range declarations. If this process needs to be 
repeatable, create SPIN rules that can be re-run.

 

Regards,

 

Irene

Subject: [topbraid-users] Importing property relations into existing classes? 
Possible?

 

I have a tab-delimited file that defines a set of properties as follows:

S1 predicate O1
S1 predicate O2
S2 predicate O2
S2 predicate O4
...

I have used tab-delimited files in import, before, but it was always to create 
new instances. In this case I just want to add properties to existing classes. 
Using import tab-delimited doesn't appear to be the right approach for this. 
What is? Thank you.

Jack
