Re: SUO: RE: Topic Maps
Chris,
As the ontologists around here are fond of saying, "I believe we are on the
same page."
I put together the beginnings of a little paper on mapping IBIS to XTM. It's
at http://www.thinkalong.com/JP/ibisXTM.pdf
My reason for doing so was to support my chapter in the book I am editing
_XML Topic Maps: Creating and Using Topic Maps for the Web_ to be published
by Addison Wesley this year, and for my paper at KT 2001, "Bringing
Knowledge Technologies to the Classroom", a draft of which can be seen at
http://www.thinkalong.com/JP/ParkKT2001.pdf
As soon as I get past KT2001 (two weeks from now!), I plan to begin
sketching ways in which CGs and XTM can come together. I will be happy to
discuss that with anyone who wishes to contact me.
Hornets nests? Clax est.
Cheers
Jack
