Hi Stian,

Depending on the target audience, I believe that some or all of the
texts listed below may be better suited than the standard itself (giving
a general overview of the concept, that is):

The TAO of Topic Maps
http://www.ontopia.net/topicmaps/materials/tao.html

Metadata? Thesauri? Taxonomies? Topic Maps!
http://www.ontopia.net/topicmaps/materials/tm-vs-thesauri.html

What Are Topic Maps

An Introduction to Topic Maps

tml/Jour5Intro.asp


Also, www.topicmap.com has aggregated a fair collection of TM-resources,
if that's what you're looking for.

Subject: [topicmapmail] Reference to Topic Maps

Hi all!

For some time, I've been having a challenge when writing about Topic  
Maps; What is a good website to refer people to when talking about TM  
in general? Is there a one site that is *the* starting point for all  
the official standards, models, etc.? I've been using the  
isotopicmaps.org site. Is that still "valid" to refer people to when  
pointing to Topic Maps in general?


Cheers,

Stian Lavik
