[topicmapmail] Creating Topic-Map-View of relational data

[Christoph Froehlich]

Hi Lars,

yes, we are using TM4j currently and no, we do not use tmapi. Sorry.

Our initial goal was to write the code against tmapi but there was
something that did prevent us from quick success. I do not recall what
it was exactly, but I don't think that it is really serious.

While we decided to make it work for now with TM4J, we kept in mind,
that it would be fine to use other tm-engines as well. There are some
efforts in the code that tends to being "vendor-independent".

So, if your question aims at whether it is possible to use semantag with
the omnigator then:
Not out of the box, but it shouldn't be too much effort to implement.
