IRS Tax Map
TaxMap is a product that we make in cooperation with Plexus Scientific and Coolheads Consulting for the Internal Revenue Service.
TaxMap is an electronic research
tool used by telephone call sites as well as by
taxpayers. TaxMap is based on a network navigational
model (Topic Maps), which enables research by
subject. It has been designed to be easy to use, and
its production does not require any change in
workflow. TaxMap is made using a combination of automatic
processes and human input by IRS tax experts. We
use TMLoom to produce TaxMap.
TaxMap contains the IRS forms, instructions, and publications, the tax law Frequently Asked Questions, and TeleTax topics. Versions available to the public contain IRS forms and instructions and the IRS publications.
TaxMap exploits the extensive use of XML and SGML at IRS.
The TaxMap version for assistors is available only on the IRS Intranet.
Two CD-ROMs are published that contain Taxmap. They
can be ordered from the IRS online.

GCA Conference Proceedings since 1996
The first navigable information network for a conference proceedings, for the HyTime
International Conference, in Seattle in 1996, was produced by Michel
Biezunski as a proof of concept for topic maps. The SGML Europe 1997
Conference proceedings were published using an improved version of the
technology. Over the years, these CD-ROMs served to showcase the
technology and to promote the idea of topic maps for information networks in
the SGML/XML community. The information networks produced up until the XML Europe
2000 Conference have been combined and are now available as a
merged information network on the Web.
