Merging of Distributed Topic Maps based on the Subject Identity Measure (SIM) Approach
Lutz Maicher has published his paper on merging TMs.
We adress with this paper the question how distributed topic maps can be merged if the subjects of their topics aren't described by a centralised vocabulary (PSIs). We developed a (lightweighted) approach which yields for our example set very good results.
