[topicmapmail] TMRA'05 proceedings available

[Steve Pepper]

I just received my copy and thought others might like to know
that the proceedings of TMRA'05 are now available.

TMRA'05, the first international workshop on Topic Maps Research
and Applications, was held in Leipzig, Germany in October last
year.[1] The proceedings are published by Springer in their
series Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence.[2]

The proceedings contain some very interesting papers. I encourage
everyone who is seriously interested in Topic Maps to get a copy
(not least because then Springer will look more favourably on
publishing next year's proceedings :-) It's EUR 48 from the
publisher and USD 63 from Amazon.

TMRA is developing into a very important academic conference on
Topic Maps. The call is out for papers for TMRA'06. Take a look
and, if you're doing Topic Maps-related research (either
academically or in industry), consider submitting a paper.
