Re: [icom] CfP: Personal Semantic Data 2011 - Workshop at K-CAP 2011

[Patrick Durusau <patrick@durusau.net>]

Laura,

Don't know if anyone reads my blog but I have posted a note there about 
your conference:

http://tm.durusau.net/?p=8970

Hope you are at the start of a great week!

Patrick

PS: One of the roles for topic maps being an auditable mapping from 
current systems to an ICOM representation. Otherwise all you really know 
if that in one system one component was mapping to a component in ICOM. 
Don't know who made the mapping, when, for what reason, etc. 
Undocumented semantic mappings are at least as bad as undocumented 
source code, if not worse.
