[topicmapmail] Classification of occurrences using keywords

[Jason Cupp]

You could create topics for the keywords and link them with <resourceRef>s.
(Not sure if resourceRefs are suppose to link to topics) This would create
the possibility for future merging and allow you to browse by keyword in a
navigator...

<topic id="automobiles">
  <basename>
    <baseNameString>Automobiles</baseNameString>
  </baseName>
  <occurrence>
    <instanceOf>
      <topicRef xlink:href="#keywords" />
    </instanceOf>
    <resourceRef xlink:href="#windscreen"/>
  </occurrence>
  ...
</topic>

<topic id="windscreen">
  <basename>
    <baseNameString>Windscreen</baseNameString>
  </baseName>
  ...
</topic>


It would also let you add semantic information to the keywords:

<association>
   <instanceOf>
     <topicRef xlink:href="#component-object"/>
   </instanceOf>
   
  <basename>
    <baseNameString>Component - Object</baseNameString>
  </baseName>

  <member>
    <roleSpec>
      <topicRef xlink:href="#component"/>
    </roleSpec>
    <topicRef xlink:href="#windscreen"/>
  </member>
  
  <member>
    <roleSpec>
      <topicRef xlink:href="#object"/>
    </roleSpec>
    <topicRef xlink:href="#automobiles"/>
  </member>
</association>
