FW: [topicmapmail] Reference to Topic Maps

[Bernard Vatant]

Hi folks

Definitely let's go the Wikipedia way. Like it or not, Wikipedia entries 
are the de facto main Published Subject Indicator for anything now.
Indeed the current article is in bad shape. I've thought for years now 
to improve it, but no action taken ...
If further arguments are needed :
- A good article in English will be the basis for articles in other 
languages - multilingual outreach is important
- History of the concept, standardisation and its various avatars can 
hopefully be put down from a NPOV (Neutral Point Of View). I volunteer 
to moderate this if needed :-)

I would suggest an article structure similar to the one I did for SKOS
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SKOS
First thing is certainly to rename the article : Topic map > Topic Maps 
... if nothing else to show that there are quite different things under 
the concept ...
