Maybe not!

In some sense, this thread not necessarily about XTM, but it is about 
topic maps and it is about context, and it is about generating views, 
and it stimulated some good responses.

My own view is that, somewhat akin to the old biology mantra: "it's all 
in the context", this is an interesting thread.  Francis Heylighen [1] 
(couldn't get the site to open, so couldn't select appropriate papers) 
has written about "learning webs" where a hebbian learning algorithm 
assigns and massages weights on links according to click counts. Lots of 
people study the notion of "context". When you think about mapping that 
into topic maps, the <scope> tag comes into play, and more.

Don't truncate this thread.
Cheers,
Jack
