ODP Topic Maps new URL - Re: [topicmapmail] Topic Maps classification

[Bernard Vatant]

After long and interesting debate between ODP editors, Option 1 has eventually been chosen
...
New ODP home of Topic Maps is :
http://dmoz.org/Reference/Knowledge_Management/Knowledge_Representation/Topic_Maps/

The editor has not changed :)

This move has triggered an interesting reflexion on all the Knowledge_* classification and
semantics, so maybe more to come
in the future ...

Note that the previous URL:
http://dmoz.org/Computers/Artificial_Intelligence/Knowledge_Representation/Topic_Maps/

will redirect to the new one. This is a general policy in ODP that the "ancient" URLs
never die, as long as the categories
are still alive somewhere in the directory.

Food for thought for PSI management?
