This paper describes TM/XML, an XML syntax for Topic Maps that is very close to the natural, or colloquial, XML representation of the information in the topic map. It can be used to process Topic Maps data with XML tools, and integrate non-Topic Maps systems with Topic

In this contribution, we address exploratory search where a user is faced with an information need concerning a domain he lacks specific knowledge. Based on the work of Delbru et al., which introduced metrics to measure the navigational quality of automatically selected facets for RDF data, we apply those findings to the semantically richer TMDM and show how exploratory search functionality can...

Most current schemes for multicast routing assume that multicast routers participate both in forwarding mul-ticast packets and in control algorithms for routing, resource reservation, and group management. By separating data and control ow, and by centralizing control in distinct control elements, we have designed a simple and scalable approach to IP multicast that we call Centralized Multicast...

A case is made for acknowledging spirituality in clinical...
