"reading that document" was helpful. 'Re-writing' of the document into a
3P-able format gave me additional insight into the TM concepts and
meta-model. The process of 're-writing' diagrams of the Standard Application
Model (SAM) is illustrated in
http://www.gen-strategies.com/tmModel/tMap.htm. The process consists of the
source (in this case a diagram representing a partition of SAM) analysis to
specify/create:
(1) SET Identifications
(2) Inter-Set SCHEMA design
(3) Set Enumeration
(4) CONTEXT DIAGRAM and/or CONTEXT MAP.

By repeating the process, a Context Map of SAM was developed and shown at
http://www.gen-strategies.com/tmModel/tmModel.htm. Several different views
of the SAM model were retrieved - by using pattern tagging queries - and
shown at http://www.gen-strategies.com/tmModel/tMt.htm,
http://www.gen-strategies.com/tmModel/tMa.htm,
http://www.gen-strategies.com/tmModel/tMo.htm,
http://www.gen-strategies.com/tmModel/aMr.htm,
http://www.gen-strategies.com/tmModel/bMv.htm. Context Diagram Views of the
Model were generated automatically. Coloring of the Context Maps and
Diagrams was done ONLY to enhance human perception.

The Context Map model of SAM was developed in EXCEL environment enhanced by
a comprehensive editor. Context Maps are specialized spreadsheets. EXCEL
provides an option to store spreadsheets as Web (XML) pages

Ed. Note:(larsga)
Should we add more explanatory text with examples etc?

[wmj]
I am looking forward to a reasonable-size example to allow a verification of
the SAM.
I was unable to discover any inconsistencies between 7 diagrams of SAM.

The first draft of the Standard Application Model has now been posted
to the ISO SC34 document registry. This is an early version of the
model, and so comments on it are very much wanted (please send these
to the editors). The document can be found at

  <URL: http://www.y12.doe.gov/sgml/sc34/document/0299.htm >


A document that explains what this is and what it is supposed to do in
the larger context of topic maps can be found at

  <URL: http://www.y12.doe.gov/sgml/sc34/document/0278.htm >

If reading that document doesn't help you can always ask here. :-)
