[topicmapmail] Triangulation of associations

[Rani Pinchuk]

Hi all,

Toma has been indeed used in a project for ESA (European Space Agency)
as discussed in TMRA'05. In the project, a relatively simple Q/A
system was created on top of Topic Maps. I think a good reference to
that short presentation is 
http://www.wim.uni-
koeln.de/uploads/media/Report_from_the_open_space_sessions_v24_with_Copyright.pdf. 
(with thanks to Alexander Sigel who wrote this nice report)

Since than, Toma has evolved to a much stronger language. A full
fledge engine supporting the improved Toma will be available within
few months.

In addition (and also in reaction to the emails about "Topic Maps
editors"), Space Applications Services is developing a Topic Map
editor which will work with the above engine. 

The engine and the editors will be available in few months and the
intention is to have them free for non commercial use.

Rani.
