XTM is not Topic Maps

Lars Marius Garshol makes his case that XTM is not Topic Maps, ie. the syntax is not the same as the data model. This will be a familiar argument to those who read the TM mailing lists.

TMRA'05 summary

Lars Marius Garshol has posted a great summary of TMRA'05 (day 1, day 2) for all of those unable to make it to Leipzig - like those of us living in Australia! The range of papers at this conference was very impressive and Lars does a good job of covering them.

TMWiki

There's a new Topic Maps wiki on the block - TMWiki. It's maintained (in part :) by Hendrik Thomas. He encourages you to contribute. "TMwiki is a Topic Map Wiki application based on Dokuwiki. It enables the collaborated authoring of Topic Map. Also I developed TMV (Topic Map Visualiser) a generic graphical Topic Map browser. It is used in TMwiki as a display and navigation interface for Topic Maps."
