The XML Papers: Lessons on Applying Topic Maps
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes some of the basic steps in applying topic maps in a real world application, a topic map-driven web portal of conference papers. It covers the tasks of collecting and examining source data, defining an ontology and populating a topic map. It discusses tools for automatically creating topic maps, with particular emphasis on how the synergies between topic maps and RDF can be exploited in the process of autogenerating topic maps from structured and semi-structured source data. It also provides an introduction to the concept of published subjects, describes how they are being applied in this project and details the benefits that they are expected to bring in both this and other projects.

متن کاملBuilding a Topic Map Repository
This paper presents a research prototype of topic maps repository. The main purpose of this repository is to promote knowledge structure sharing and reuse in representing and organizing information resources. The overall architecture of the repository includes a relational database (using MY-SQL), an XML-enabled application server, a customized XML schema for Topic Maps, a set of XML stylesheet...
متن کاملEducational Topic Maps
To address the critical issues of findability, shareability and reusability of learning resources, we propose an authoring environment for building, maintaining, and using standardsbased, ontology-aware e-learning repositories. The proposed environment, TM4L (Topic Maps for Learning), is based on the new ISO standard XML Topic Maps (XTM).
متن کاملConstraining XML Topic Maps with XTche
This paper presents a process for specifying constraints on topic maps with a constraint language. This language allows to express contextual conditions on classes of Topic Maps. With XTche, a topic map designer defines a set of restrictions that enables to verify if a particular topic map is semantically valid. As the manual checking of large topic maps (frequent in real cases) is impossible, ...
