I'm working with TMAPI for some time now and i'm trying to push it where 
i can, so why not make a minimal in memory Implementation of TMAPI with 
a small XML-push parser like KXML.
At my univiersity we have a project called "shark", where we use a 
TopicMap Engine on J2ME, which is a TMAPI impl with xml-push parser 
(kxml) and a RecordStore Backend. Unfortunatly its not OpenSource.

I looked into hypergraphs CVS and saw that he tries to use TMAPI.

I have nothing to do at the weekend, so if everyone is ok with a 
lightweight TMAPI in memory impl. with small xml-parser, i could 
contribute some code.
