Hi Chi-Lun,

* Chi-Lun Chung

| I can find a lot of comparisons between Topic Maps and RDF, but
| cannot find the comparisons among Topic Maps, RDF/RDFS, and
| Ontology.
| 
| I wonder if I am wrong?

Not really. The only comparison I know of is

  <URL: http://www.ontopia.net/topicmaps/materials/tmrdf.html#sect-schema-langs >

| Do you think it is appropriate to compare the "knowledge
| representation" among them?

Yes, I think it is, though in many ways it's more appropriate to
compare OWL with TMCL than with topic maps themselves.
