NB on "node" [was Re: [xtm-wg] Reification of topic map constructs]

[John Robert Gardner <John.Robert.Gardner@east.sun.com>]

Just a playful NB re:

|The best definition I have been able to find is "the set of
|interconnected topic nodes, etc., that result from processing a topic
|map document."
|
|(1) The term "node" is a little overloaded right now.

>From the OED, the oldest use of "node" in 1572: "A knot or complication; an entanglement"

perhaps it is fittingly overloaded after all . . .
