ControlTier uses a semantic web approach to managing information about the configuration and control of application environments. Internally, all data is represented in RDF and stored in a relational database. ControlTier uses the excellent Jena API to access and manipulate the model data. ControlTier uses RDFS along with a handful of its own vocabulary to build ontologies that reflect your environment. Day to day use of ControlTier does NOT require you to understand any of these technologies! Workbench does provide data export and import of the model data in a number of RDF formats (n-triple, RDF/XML, N3). This makes it possible to use other RDF tools to edit and visualize model data. Of course, care must be used when editing model data outside of Workbench. Only advanced users should consider doing this!
