I suggest: http://www.ontopia.net/topicmaps/materials/tmrdf.html We currently use topic maps, alot, in our infrastructure. If we were starting again tomorrow, I'd advocate using RDF instead, mainly because of the much better tool support and take-up. cheers stuart -- Stuart Yeates http://www.nzetc.org/ New Zealand Electronic Text Centre http://researcharchive.vuw.ac.nz/ Institutional Repository
