I stumbled on this very interesting one I did not know of:

http://www.astro.caltech.edu/~aam/science/topicmaps/

It's an application to astronomical data base by a CalTech team, called "Topic Maps for
the Virtual Observatory". What is interesting is a tool allowing users to generate
automatically a Topic Map from data tables of their choice.

Comments welcome, to this forum and to the author of the project in cc.
