Thank you Holger for this answer
Giving up the evolution of TBC-FE is very bad news... It's a tool I
use a lot to introduce my students and clients to the use of semantic
web technologies and to promote TopQuadrant solutions.
Would you be willing to open the code to make it an OpenSource
solution... or even competitive with Protégé?
As an Semantic Web Enterprise Architect here at UQAM I would no doubt
be willing here at the University to develop a collaboration with you
in this regard to ensure the scalability of this product at minimum
cost for you.
Hi Michel,
as a commercial vendor our goal with introducing TBC-FE (several years
ago) was of course to increase the potential outreach of our products,
e.g. by helping the overall community to grow. After careful evaluation
we decided to cut the costs of maintaining the three editions of TBC, so
alongside the Standard Edition we also dropped the Free Edition. We
simply didn't see enough evidence that the Free Edition was indeed
contributing to more sales. The web products (TopBraid EDG) is where the
money is. Maintaining too many different things (including open source
projects) is detrimental to delivering sufficient quality in the web
product line.
Apologies if this causes you problems. We have barely changed TBC in
recent years apart from TBC-ME-only features that mainly supported the
web products. Therefore you wouldn't have seen many changes to TBC-FE
either. The downloads of the (old) TBC-FE version would be almost
identical to any new version that we would have uploaded in the last
couple of years.
Regards,
Holger
Michel

Hello
Currently, if my information is good, Topbraid Composer is built
on Eclipse's Neon distribution. Is there a plan to upgrade to a
more recent version of Eclipse in the near future? And will the
free-edition version follow this upgrade?
Thank you
Michel
