TopBraid Suite 3.0 offers governance support through specialized ontologies, change management scripts, and application templates. It enables flexible change management processes, accommodating changes directly in the vocabulary system. The governance model process utilizes SPARQLMotion scripts for processing, log changes, and notifications. The suite includes key datasets for operational, change log, and gold/published data, supporting change taxonomy and approval processes.

Enterprise Vocabulary Management TopQuadrantTopBraid Suite 3.0 Solution Overview
Solution Overview • Specialized ontologies to support governance • Application templates to serve as a starting point • SPARQLMotion scripts implementing change management, collaboration support and version control • Specialized import modules for common spreadsheet patterns
Model-driven Change Management • Change Management and Approval processes are described in a governance model • This approach has many benefits: • Process definitions are flexible – different roles and steps can be supported • Different items (groups of items) can have different processes • The model itself is extensible • Changes and change requests are accommodated • Management of changes directly entered in the vocabulary system • As well as change requests submitted as textual descriptions
Processing is implemented in SPARQLMotion scripts • SPARQLMotion scripts: • Listen for the changes in the data • Infer what and how needs to be acted on • Apply the right steps in the change management processes • Log changes • Send notifications • Out of the box scripts • Support majority of requirements an enterprise may have • Are easily extended and customized to meet unique requirements
Three Key Datasets: Operational, Change Log and “Gold” or Published • Up to date changes, current state of the work • Work in progress, some may not be approved • Typically, accessed through the web editing application Operational Dataset Vocabulary Schema Vocabulary Data • Populated by the approval/change management processes • Used for reporting and rollback Change Log Dataset Records of all changes • Only approved information and structures • Populated by the approval/change management processes • Typically, accessed through the web application only for viewing and reporting • Used for publishing/transmitting of information to the downstream systems Gold/Published Dataset Vocabulary Schema Vocabulary Data
Process in Action Operation: Change Taxonomy Operational Dataset • Record all information about change operations • Added triples, Removed Triples • Who, When • Identify the appropriate approval process • Set change states, send notifications < :UK :synonym :UnitedKingdom > :UK :synonym :England . > :_b a :Change • :_b :status :Submitted Modify Geographic Taxonomy Change Log Dataset Approve Change Content Editor Published Dataset < :UK :synonym :UnitedKingdom > :UK :synonym :England .
