If there is a code-based cross reference compatible with a code
in our agreed-upon set, my topic map engine can probably do the
necessary merge to bring it into the base names of the existing
topics. All my sources are hand-converted into LTM (well, using
sed and other UNIX utilities), so as with John's comments, there
first needs be a sanity check but I don't see a problem with this.
It can also be a supplemental topic map that can be merged
separately (which is actually what I'd recommend, since the size
of these files will be an issue given they'll be processed rather
commonly by topic map applications).
