I think the Rightfield library allows you to validate the spreadsheet. This sounds like a combination of the spreadsheet service and a SPARQL service. Effectively the spreadsheet is being treated as a simple triple store over which you run a simple SPARQL query. > - Beyond loading data into a workflow, it would also be nice to be able > to load data into a semantically tagged database or a triple-store. > Imagine if you had tagged the columns in a database table (something like > D2R), and could load the data directly from the spreadsheet into the > database. Something like that must be happening inside the websites that have Rightfield import. > On a slightly different note, I was wondering if the current > validation functionality in workflows, supports semantic validation > of ports?

As Donal said, this does require the ports to be typed, which is not normally well done. > Cheers, > > Mark Alan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try New Relic Now & We'll Send You this Cool Shirt New Relic is the only SaaS-based application performance monitoring service that delivers powerful full stack analytics.
