Hi Charlie,
TBC-ME is a companion IDE (Integrated Development environment) for TopBraid Live server and other TopBraid server products such as TopBraid EVN and TopBraid Insight. When one develops applications using TBC-ME, one presumably is using technologies such as SPIN, SPARQLMotion, SPARQL Web Pages, SWP Application Component Library and/or Teamworks Framework. Technical features and advantages for each of these are explained on their web pages in a fairly detailed way. Each page has a tab entitled “Why <X>” and we would also be happy to answer additional questions: http://www.topquadrant.com/technology/sparql-rules-spin/ http://www.topquadrant.com/technology/sparqlmotion/ http://www.topquadrant.com/technology/sparql-web-pages-swp/ http://www.topquadrant.com/technology/swa-sparql-web-applications/ http://www.topquadrant.com/technology/topbraid-teamworks-framework/ These technologies make it easier to create powerful semantic web and linked data applications. If one didn’t use them, then one would presumably have to write some not dissimilar code themselves for their applications to take advantage of the capabilities. Then, the applications would be ‘locked’ to that code. In other words, like anything, this is a buy versus build decision. Does the organization want to write and maintain their own infrastructure/middleware type of code or does it prefer to license it from a software vendor? Many organizations these days chose the latter because it saves them time, money and reduces risk, but some chose the former.

They can see the utility of developing applications in TBC-ME but would like to deploy them on commodity technology. I would appreciate any justifications -- and the more technical the better -- for reasons to lock applications to TBL (realizing that one is probably "execution of SPIN constructs.")

The main issue is sponsors are consistently asking for open source enterprise level solutions, fiscally conservative climate and all. We try to explain the difficulties involved with non-commercial enterprise solutions, but shouting into the wind. -- -- 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 Insight, SPARQLMotion, SPARQL Web Pages and SPIN.
