Hi Melvin, I wouldn't really say that Tabulator was suitable for "general non technical users". I just clicked on the link, and apart from getting endless windows with "Couldn't set callback for redirects: TypeError: 'undefined' is not an object (evaluating 'xhr.channel')" it is pretty opaque as to what to do next. Even trying to read the help. That's not to say it isn't useful - it I just wouldn't even expect my technical non-SemWeb colleagues to feel the SemWeb was for them by being told that was an application for non-technical people. Best Hugh
