Maatary,
Approach described by Scott is for flexible use from TopBraid Composer with any SPARQL Endpoint. In TopBraid EVN, users can automatically get resources from pre-configured remote sources as described here http://download.topquadrant.com/evn/44doc/userguide.html#copyfromremote. The source needs to be a SPARQL Endpoint. EVN will run a query to get information about a resource with the matching (similar) label. Alternatively, in EVN there is also “Copy from URL” option. User provides a URL. If RDF is returned when it is accessed, it will be copied into vocabulary. This is intended for sources that expose Linked Data, but not necessarily offer SPARQL Endpoints. If a source you are interested in, does not return RDF, but returns, for example, XML or JSON, you could create a source-specific service using pre-built modules available in TopBraid that will, possibly based on the user input, access the source, convert returned information to RDF and add it to your model. Such service can be built using either SPARQLMotion http://www.topquadrant.com/technology/sparqlmotion/ or SPARQL Web Pages http://www.topquadrant.com/technology/sparql-web-pages-swp/ . Then, it can be called from TBC or from any application running on TopBraid Live.

The thing is that sometime there is no sparql end point just a lookup enpoint / a search service. I beleive in this case you have to go and fetch it yourself. It just faster.

For linking to external controlled vocabularies, the best would be to use Import From URL... in the Imports tab - see Help > Help Contents > TopBraid Composer > User Interface Overview > Imports View. There is also a SPARQL Endpoint Connector - see TopBraid Composer > Importing Data Sources > Import external information > Import SPARQL Endpoints In terms of "is there a way to open them in topbraid after downloading them, and linking to it", one way to accomplish this would be to use the SERVICE in a SPARQL Construct. The following is a working example. CONSTRUCT { <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Belize> <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Belize> rdfs:label ?o} WHERE { SERVICE <http://dbpedia.org/sparql> <http://dbpedia.org/sparql> { <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Belize> <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Belize> rdfs:label ?o } } ...replace the dbpedia SPARQL Endpoint with whatever endpoint you are linking to. You can then assert the constructed triples where you want or use INSERT to place them in a specified GRAPH. -- Scott On 9/25/2014, 6:59 PM, Maatary Okouya wrote: I want to link my resource to external resources? What support do i have for that in TopBraid. I saw the linking to DbPedia, but i might be interested in new york Time linked data, freebase, LCSH, VIAF, etc.... Do i have some support for it? Moreover, I have the specific need to link external controlled vocabulary to real entities with foaf:Focus. Would it be possible? If i can't look them up online, is there a way to open them in topbraid after downloading them, and linking to it? meaning without making an import in my dataset ? -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Group "TopBraid Suite Users", the topics of which include Enterprise Vocabulary Network (EVN), TopBraid Composer, TopBraid Live, TopBraid Insight, SPARQLMotion, SPARQL Web Pages and SPIN.
