Glad to hear it - and thanks for telling us. There is a pervasive myth that
Topic Maps in practice is more or less confined to Norway.

Now, it may be that we make more noise up here than most other people, but
that doesn't mean that there isn't a lot of interesting stuff going on
elsewhere - witness the presentations at Topic Maps 2007. [1]

(Admittedly the fact that Topic Maps 2007 was held in Oslo is not without
significance, but that's another matter. Topic Maps 2008 will also be held
here, but I'm hoping it will be more international than ever, so start
thinking NOW about (a) submitting a presentation, and (b) coming to Norway
in the March/April timeframe. More information to follow.)
