[topicmapmail] Topic map design guidelines?

[Kal Ahmed]

Hi Ingo,

There are not a lot of style guides out there at the moment. I have
started a Wiki to collect guidelines and proposals for topic map design
patterns which you can read (and contribute to!) at
http://www.topicmapcentral.com/

I wrote a short blog article on my thoughts about binary vs. n-ary
associations a while ago which you can find at

Cheers,

Kal

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...
