[topicmapmail] reification and other funny things

[Joril Andersen]

Hi : )

Hope someone can help me with som questions regarding reification:

....the data model 2.0 says that a topic has null or one information item in 
its reified property.

In the TMAPI the topic.getReified() method returns a set of topic map 
constructs that this topic reifies.
Which is correct?

If a topic reifies an occurrence, I would think that this occurrence can be 
assigned to several topics.And hence the reified topic would contain a set 
with alle these occurrence items in the different topics? A document on 
well-known composers could be attached to both Puccini(topic) and 
Verdi(topic)? Or should an occurrence be more specificly related to a topic?

During deserialization, wouldn't the list of reified properties be created 
for each topic?

best regards,

Joril
