[topicmapmail] Reference to Topic Maps

[Stian Lavik]

Thank you for the swift reply.

I agree with you completely and I frequently use those. However, in  
terms of pointing to Topic Maps, the official standard, the overview  
with access to the standards documents (technical stuff, models, XTM- 
syntax, etc.). This can be useful as a reference e.g. when comparing  
TM with other standards or similar situations. The reader can then  
choose for himself to what level he wants to dig in to the matter.  
But I want to be able to point to *the* official TM site. It doesn't  
seem that iso.org has a collective page for all the parts of the TM  
standards. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
