[topicmapmail] Expressive capabilities of Topic Maps

[Jack Park]

Can it not be said that occurrences are essentially associations of a 
particular type such that the resource itself is the subject (role 
player) playing the role of, um, occurrence?

I, on the other hand, would be happy to use occurrences for ordinary
(non-FK) cells for most of the applications I can think of right now.  This
gives you the same level of access to the values as you can get from a
relational database (although not more access), which seems reasonable to
me.
