ANN: TopBraid Composer Free Edition

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]

Holger
