Hi,
I would like to examine the expressive power of Topic Map=20
scope in relation to representing viewpoints or context=20
(from a pragmatic point of view). Well, I want to start=20
with some examples illustrating how some topic maps=20
properties could be viewed under certain context. However=20
I can't generate simple and meaningful examples to start up.=20
For instance, I can not figure out how can the resources in=20
the following topic be displayed depending on the context =20
("average-student" or "good-student").
<topic id=3D"unit-1">
<instanceOf><topicRef xlink:href=3D"#leson"/></instanceOf>
<baseName>
<baseNameString> First Unit</baseNameString>
</baseName>
<occurrence>
<scope><topicRef xlink:href=3D"#average-student"/></scope>
<instanceOf><topicRef xlink:href=3D"#webpage"/></instanceOf>
<resourceRef xlink:href=3D"
http://wssu.edu/faculty/dichevc/ex/sect1.htm"/>
</occurrence>
<occurrence>
<scope><topicRef xlink:href=3D"good-student"/></scope>
<instanceOf><topicRef xlink:href=3D"#webpage"/></instanceOf>
<resourceRef xlink:href=3D "
http://wssu.edu/faculty/dichevc/ex/sect2.html"/>
</occurrence>
</topic>
I can't even see how using scope, one can view names depending on the
language context.
<topic id=3D"texas-uni">
<baseName>
<scope>
<subjectIndicatorRef=20
=
xlink:href=3D"http://www.topicmaps.org/xml/1.0/language.xtm#en"/>
</scope>
<baseNameString>Texas University</baseNameString>
</baseName>
<baseName>
<scope>
<subjectIndicatorRef
=
xlink:href=3D"http://www.topicmaps.org/xml/1.0/language.xtm#de"/>
</scope>
<baseNameString>Texas Universit=E4t</baseNameString>
</baseName>
</topic>
Your help will be appreciated,
Christo
