GTM Updates

Lars Marius Garshol has updated the GTM homepage with 3 recent presentations.

CXTM Test Suite 0.1

Lars Marius Garshol announced that "We now finally have a release of the first version of the CXTM-based test suite for Topic Maps engines. It consists of 293 tests using four different syntaxes: XTM 2.0, CTM, LTM 1.3, and TM/XML. The tests have been verified using two different Topic Maps engines (OKS and tinyTIM), and should be reasonably reliable even at this early stage."

Perl TM now supports XTM

Robert Barta has added XTM support to Perl TM now at version 1.41.

"During the last days I have added - without much enthusiasm, mind you - XTM support, for versions 1.0, 2.0 (and the intermediate 1.1). Especially 1.0 is cumbersome programming. Let's thank the XTM editors for the much simpler version 2. Support means deserialization and serialization, so you should be able to create valid XML instances in all the above flavors."

TMPlusPlus Beta

Inge Henriksen announced the release of his open source C++ Topic Maps engine. It has bindings for lots of scripting languages:

"My first main goal with this new engine was to enable C++ programmers (the same programming language in which TM++ is written) to be able to use topic maps in their programs. The second goal was to make a really fast topic maps engine without having to fall back on caching and the likes. The engine is based around TMDM 1.0, and you can also work with XTM 1.0 and XTM 2.0 files."

Topic Maps and All That blog

Steve Pepper has a blog about Topic Maps and related things: "I shall be using this blog to talk about the things that matter to me, the things I believe in, and to criticize the things I think need criticizing."
