It simplifies the management and distribution of reference data within organizations with a simple point-and-click, forms-based interface. By putting the management of reference data in the hands of the business user, this solution will help our customers better succeed in today’s data-driven world.”

In addition to the launch of TopBraid RDM, the latest release includes new capabilities for TopBraid Enterprise Vocabulary Network (TopBraid EVN) TopBraid Insight, and the TopBraid Platform, including new SPARQLMotion and SPARQL Web Pages, and SPARQL Web Pages Application Components improvements.
