[topicmapmail] topic maps instances?

[Steve Pepper]

Dear Alexander

My Masters Students at University College Oslo have handcrafted 11
topic maps this autumn on a range of subjects. They have not yet
all been finalized, but they have given me permission to publish
them on the Ontopedia website, where they can be browsed in the
Omnigator and exported. The complete list of topic maps at that
site is as follows:

BeethovenConcertos.xtm
ChristianiaBohemians.xtm
DantesInferno.xtm
DCinTopicMapsTR.ltm
DigitalDocuments2007.xtm
DigitalLibraries.xtm
DogBreeds.xtm
DonaldDuck.xtm
HistoricMonuments.xtm
ItalianOpera.ltm
FacultyOfJLIS.xtm
NorwegianChristmas.xtm
NorwegianOpera.xtm
StreetStyle.xtm
TapsasConcerts.xtm
TopicMaps.xtm
Wine.xtm

We have had a lot of fun creating these topic maps, and we hope you
and others find them usefully. Feedback on any- and everything to
do with modeling issues, content, etc. is very welcome.

Please note that these are not the final versions. There are still
some minor errors and inconsistencies that we hope to iron out.

Steve

P.S. The topic map TopicMaps.xtm is the one used to drive the new
web site at www.topicmaps.com.

| Dear All,
| 
| We are working on a research project aiming at a portable domain
| question answering system over Topic Maps. For this reason we
| need a corpora of topic maps.
| 
| We found some topic maps at the Omnigator site, but except for
| the famous "Opera" and "Languages and Scripts" topic maps,
| others are either small hacks (pokemon) or conversions from
| the original formats (CIA factbook) [1].
| 
| Several topic maps are available at the Cogitative Technologies
| [2] and at Techquila [3].
| 
| Are there other hand-crafted topic maps or this is the status quo
| in topic maps production?
| 
| How do you deal with a sheer lack of publicly available topic
| maps?
| 
| Do you have topic maps (in English) that you can share with us
| for the purpose of this research only? this kind of help will
| be much appreciated.
