| I would appreciate a reference to few examples that demonstrate
| 'that the topic map paradigm is incredibly simple and intuitive". 

Well, if the statement is true, then a look at, say, the TAO of topic
maps, should be enough to prove that it is correct.

| I plan to include a section on TM in my course on System
| Modeling. Examples consistent with
| http://www.y12.doe.gov/sgml/sc34/document/0299.htm would be very
| appreciated especially if not larger than few pages - "Topic map for
| Italian opera" by Steve Pepper is too big.

Any suitably sized XTM document should serve as an example. You can
find a list of publicly available topic maps at

"Jill's First Topic Map" may be a good one to use:

(Currently offline, but back some time tomorrow, I hope.)
