When creating and editing ontologies, see the following help pages to learn how to:
TopBraid Composer's Model menu offers a range of useful utilities for working with the currently displayed ontology:
Manage annotations displays a dialog box that lets you edit all of the model's values for a particular annotation property, such as rdfs:label or skos:historyNote, in the same place. See the Manage Annotations help panel for more information.
Assign XSD types to all untyped literals assigns datatypes to the model's untyped literals based on the rdfs:range values of the predicates in the triples with those literals.
Convert between RDF Schema and OWL displays a wizard that can convert in either direction. See the Convert between RDFS and OWL help panel for more detail.
Generate random triples can be used to produce random data that matches a (SHACL) schema, see Random Data Generator.
Refresh all database caches and windows updates the data in caches and TopBraid's views using data from the current version of the disk files.
Refresh TopBraid system registries updates various global registries used by TopBraid, including SPIN functions, templates, SPARQLMotion web services, and the workspace's globally shared SPARQL Web Pages graphs that are currently in memory from the copies stored on disk as *.ui.ttl files. See the SPARQL Web Pages help page for more information on using these.
Refresh and show TODO items displays and updates the Tasks View.
Refresh and show problems (constraints) displays an updated list of constraint violations in the Problems View.
Run SPARQL query from SPIN Template displays a wizard that lists SELECT and UPDATE SPIN templates. Selecting a template from the list displays any available comment about each query and a form where you enter arguments for the query before running it. See Editing SPIN Queries for more information on SPIN templates.
Display SPIN rules and constraints opens the SPIN Overview View with a list of rules and constraints with their associated classes and properties. See Editing SPIN Queries for further details.
Find all locally defined resources displays the Local Resources View, which lists resources that have their rdf:type defined in the currently open model. This is useful when exploring a large ontology with many imports and you want to figure out what the current file is actually adding, especially if the classes and instances are difficult to find in the classes tree.
Find workspace references to local resources displays the Usages in Workspace View, which lists all references by any models in the current workspace (including the currently open model) to the currently open model. For example, if you open the food.ttl model in the TopBraid/Examples folder and select this menu choice, you will see that the wine.ttl model in the same folder references several properties and classes defined in food.ttl. See Workspaces, Projects, Folders and Files for more on the role that workspaces play in application development.
Compare with compares the currently open model with one that you select from the file selection dialog box displayed by this menu choice. See Comparing RDF Models for further information.
