Subject: [xtm-wg] topic map complexity, and references
Hi, I am an indexer and librarian, fairly new to the concept of topic maps. I have three queries. Firstly, I have read the TAO of Topic Maps at the Ontopia site. Are there any other good introductory articles you would recommend. Secondly, as a librarian i have seen the triumph of simple schemes over complex, perhaps conceputally much better schemes (eg PRECIS was a scheme that defined roles and links, and allowed automated generation of alternative access points, but it failed to catch on because it was too time-consuming and took too long to do). I'm wondering whether topic maps might suffer from similar problems. Thirdly, one of the examples used was of operas. It seems to me that some domains are relatively easy to map, and this might be one. Other domains are extremely difficult to structure, and topic maps might be beyond them.
