You may download the product for a 30 day trial to use it.  Afterwards one must purchase a license.

According to a recent news release from the company on the product:

“TopQuadrant™, a leading semantic technology products company, today announced the general availability of TopBraid Live 2.0, a semantic application deployment platform that dramatically simplifies the creation of web services to a ‘click and connect’process. Users can easily connect data from RDF stores, relational databases, spreadsheets, email, RSS
feeds, as well as data in HTML and XML formats, without the need to understand programming languages. A new Flex API creates graphical ‘information spaces’ as the output, which allow users to browse dynamic information by following graphical links.

TopBraid Live web services can also be used to make existing data available to semantically enabled search engines such as Yahoo! SearchMonkey. TopBraid Live 2.0 marks the first application deployment technology that enables non-programmers to create and share web services that leverage the power of semantic data stores, semantic queries, semantic reasoning and semantic search engines.
