TopQuadrant's TopBraid Composer is one of the leading professional  
development environments for Semantic Web models and applications.  
Three years after the 1.0 release, we have now decided to offer a Free  
Edition [1] that will hopefully make it easier for people to  
experience the benefits of Semantic Web technology. The Free Edition  
is an Eclipse-based editing and querying tool for RDF and OWL files.  
In addition to form-based editing of classes, properties and  
individuals, the Free Edition also has comprehensive SPARQL support,  
including the SPARQL Inferencing Notation (SPIN) [2]. SPIN can be used  
to define highly expressive business rules and constraints on domain  
models, entirely based on SPARQL.

The Free Edition has only a small subset of the features of the  
(commercially available) Standard and Maestro Editions of Composer,  
but we believe it will be a good option for newcomers.

For more information, please check out the download page and press  
release [3]. For general TopBraid Composer screenshots and other  
information, please visit [4]

Regards
Holger
