[topicmapmail] Topic map design guidelines?

[schoenfeld.i@atlas.de]

Hi all,

does anyone knows about a kind of style guide, guidelines or best =
practices of how to design good topic maps? For example I am often =
unsure when to use n-ary associations or when to split them in binary =
assocs. Or when to use the <resourceData> element inside an occurrence =
instead of encapsulating information a separate topic with its own topic =
type and then define an association. And so on...

I know it depends on the purpose of a topic map but there are still =
moments of stumbling what to use in which situation. Having some generic =
rules would be helpful.
