[Are Gulbrandsen]

Topic Maps 2008, The Second International Topic Maps Users  
Conference, will take place in Oslo on April 2-4 2008.

The conference is targeted towards users and potential users of Topic  
Maps. In particular:

- Information architects, software engineers, and project managers  
working
   with portals and web sites;
- Knowledge officers responsible for intranet-based knowledge  
management;
- Corporate and commercial publishers;
- Public sector providers of information;
- Students and teachers of computer science and library and
   information science.

We are particularly interested in proposals for presentations based  
on real-life case studies, but other presentations aimed at  
practitioners of Topic Maps will be considered (e.g., tools  
overviews, generalized project experiences, etc.).

Presentations will be 20-45 minutes long, and include time for  
questions. Attendance will range from 50-250 people in each room.

There will be a whole day of tutorials on Wednesday 2 April.  
Proposals are sought on any Topic Maps-related subject that is  
suitable for a full-day or half-day tutorial.
