The TBC reference looks like it is pretty close to that consolidated list -
which is fine but it would be nice if it was a bit more tractable - it
looks like its a ordered dump from graph

The challenge is lack of context:

e.g. TopBraid SPARQL Functions reference

   - *spr:colWidth
   
<http://127.0.0.1:57911/help/ntopic/org.topbraidcomposer.core/html/smf.html#spr:colWidth>*:
   Gets the width (in pixels) of a given column

operates on a spr:Table - so a facted search on all functions that take an
spr:Table as an argument, and have "col" in the description of an argument
would give a fairly useful short list of relevant stuff.

So is there already a view we could invoke to get an EDG faceted search
over this?
