** Well this looks like XTM and you can't have that in an XML document.
I would say that in your article XML you have to have particular inline (=
can occur anywhere topics appear) element(s) in your DTD, which mark up
topics and provide the target for references to that point in the article.
Then you reference to those XML elements from your XTM metadata file's
<occurrence> element. (Of course, its name can be topic with id-attribute as
you have above ;)= but that's not to be confused with XTM topic element.)

By the way, does anyone know of tools that allow the generation of XTM
<occurrence>...<resourceRef> based on user's "live" selection of text in the
document?

For RDF there is OntoMat by Karlsruhe University.
