Jack, You are right. The items below are functions. The items Holger sent are templates. I was simply saying that all functions that are shipped with TBC models are listed in the reference page.
All templates are listed as well, but templates are web services so they are documented in the administrative console under the ³Available Web Services² page in the TBL Administrator console. These templates have been developed for use in our data governance products EVN, RDM and EDG in order to allow business users specify data validation rules in the web UI. For more details on how it is used and works see http://www.topquadrant.com/docs/5.1/EVN-User-Guide_1802256.html#EVNUserGuide -Addingconstraintstoaclass. Thus, if you were running, for example, EVN this functionality would be very apparent to you. Ways to create new constraint templates are described in the Developer guide http://www.topquadrant.com/docs/5.1/EVN-Developer-Guide_1802545.html#EVNDeve loperGuide-GettingStartedwithCustomDataQualityRulesinEnterprise Vocabulary Network <http://www.topquadrant.com/docs/5.1/EVN-Developer-Guide_1802545.html#EVNDev eloperGuide-GettingStartedwithCustomDataQualityRulesinEnterprise%20Vocabular y%20Network> . In short, they were not really created for TBC; thus, not documented in TBC specific documentation.

Hello Irene, I mean no disrespect but are you sure? Here is the entire list of spl: functions from the SPARQL Functions Reference in the Topbraid Help (under Help->Contents->Topbraid Composer->Reference->SPARQL Functions Reference) for TBCME 5.1.3: spl:hasArgument spl:hasPrimaryKey spl:hasValue spl:hasValueOfType spl:instanceOf spl:isPrimaryKeyPropertyOfInstance spl:isUntypedLiteral spl:max spl:min spl:object spl:objectCount spl:objectInGraph spl:objectSubProp spl:primaryKeyProperty spl:primaryKeyURIStart spl:relevantPropertyAtClass spl:subClassOf spl:subPropertyOf spl:subject spl:subjectCount and here are the items that Holger referenced this morning: spl:CountPropertyConstraintTemplates spl:ExistencePropertyPairConstraint spl:LessThanOtherPropertyPairConstraint spl:NonExistencePropertyPairConstraint spl:ObjectCountPropertyConstraint spl:PrimaryKeyPropertyConstraint spl:PropertyConstraintTemplates spl:PropertyPairConstraintTemplates spl:RangePropertyConstraint spl:RegexPropertyConstraint spl:StringLengthPropertyConstraint spl:TypePropertyConstraint It looks to me as though the latter are class taxonomy categories, under which I would expect to see function instances, but I cannot see any of these categories in the Classes navigator. So the question remains of where they are and is there documentation for them?
