[topicmapmail] Generating TMs out of relational Databases / How To?

[Andreas Fleck]

Hello everybody,

i´ve searched the last two days for a good tutorial or "recipe" on how to
generate Topic Maps out of the Data Model of a relational Database (MySQL).

- Can anybody point me to a good tutorial or give me a recipe on how to do
this on the basic level (stuff like: Every Row of a Table has to be
transformed into a topic)?`

- What ways of auto-generating Topic Maps out of RDBMS are there?

- For my project I am using TM4J, can I somehow use the Hybernate Backend to
generate the Topic Maps?

Any help is highly appreciated. I´m pretty confused right now.

Greetings Andreas


P.S. for those of you interested in a more precise describtion of the data
modell:
The datamodell of my database is rather simple. It consists of 4 Tables and
describes Software-Tools (Table No.1), used within a Development-Project
(Table No.2) and the Relationship (Table No.3) among those Tools, with the
Linktype (Table No. 4), which is connecting those Software-Tools.
My overall goal is to visualize those connections within Eclipse.
