Hi, Last October, I asked for a top-level space TM::* http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/modules/2000-10/msg00095.html While I interpreted no reaction as positive reaction, Topic Maps proved themselves as a "moving target" having been 'standardized' (sort of) only last month: http://www.topicmaps.org/xtm/1.0/ I would like to renew my request, but now with 'XTM' instead of 'TM'. Name DSLI Description Info ------------- ---- -------------------------------------------- ----- XTM bdpO Topic Maps, base module DRRHO XTM::Memory bdpO Topic Maps, in-memory representation DRRHO XTM::XML bdpO Topic Maps, read from XML DRRHO XTM::Log bdpO Topic Maps, generic logging facility for TMs DRRHO ... XTM::Server bdpO Topic Maps, client interface DRRHO XTM::Client bdpO Topic Maps, server interface DRRHO XTM::Virtual bdpO Topic Maps, virtual TMs and TM algebras DRRHO ... In my understanding, 'Topic Maps' are some competition technology to RDF to express multidimensional, highly unstructured information. A tutorial you can find at http://topicmaps.bond.edu.au/tutorial1/ (at the moment of sending this mail, there is a power switch-off at the campus). The current version of the base package is hosted at http://people.telecoma.net/rho/cpan/XTM-0.20.tar.gz Thx for all your efforts! \rho
