This is exactly what I thought about the relation between topic and 
keywords. One (in this case, keyword = topic) or more keywords represent 
a topic. Of course I can say one(trivial) or more topics represent a 
topic,too.

Your example was quite convincing, so I think I will do it that way. The 
only drawback I can see is a bigger (but more detailed) topic map and 
eventually a more complicated navigation in it.

Thanks.
