I wanted to do something like this for a *long* time. You finally  
made me make an attempt. What do people think of the topic map below?

#PREFIX tm @"http://bogus.garshol.priv.no/tmdm/"
#PREFIX tmdm @"http://psi.topicmaps.org/iso13250/model/"

[tm:association = "Association"]
tmdm:superclass-subclass(tm:statement : tmdm:superclass,
                          tm:association : tmdm:subclass)
[tm:association-role = "Association role"]
tmdm:superclass-subclass(tm:construct : tmdm:superclass,
                          tm:association-role : tmdm:subclass)
[tm:occurrence = "Occurrence"]
tmdm:superclass-subclass(tm:statement : tmdm:superclass,
                          tm:occurrence : tmdm:subclass)

[tm:information-resource : tm:topic-type = "Information resource"]
tmdm:superclass-subclass(tm:subject : tmdm:superclass,
                          tm:information-resource : tmdm:subclass)

[tm:statement = "Statement"]
tmdm:superclass-subclass(tm:construct : tmdm:superclass,

                          tm:variant-name : tmdm:subclass)

[tm:association-role-type : tm:topic-type = "Association role type"]
[tm:association-type : tm:topic-type = "Association type"]
[tm:occurrence-type : tm:topic-type = "Occurrence type"]
[tm:topic-name-type : tm:topic-type = "Topic name type"]

[tmdm:type-instance : tm:association-type = "Type/instance"]
