[announce] ANN: Topic Map Seminar in Tokyo

[Lars Marius Garshol <larsga@garshol.priv.no>]

In the information society effective management of information and
knowledge assets is a crucial part of any business strategy. Topic
maps are a new ISO standard (ISO/IEC 13250) in the XML standards
family for organising and managing information and knowledge. Topic
maps index information resources and capture the relationships between
concepts. Topic Maps allow you for the first time to codify knowledge
and bridge the gap between information and knowledge.

This seminar gives a practical introduction to topic maps focusing on
understanding the technology and its applications in real-life
projects. The course instructor will be Lars Marius Garshol, co-author
of the new ISO 13250 standard and co-editor of the Topic Map Query
Language standard, who will speak in English. An interpreter will
simultaneously interpret into Japanese.

For much more information about the seminar in both English and
Japanese, see
