[xtm-wg] Ramen noodles

[Sam Hunting <sam_hunting@yahoo.com>]

This is probably a well-worn metaphor, but here goes:

A Topic Map is like a package of Ramen noodles. 

Ramen noodles transfer the taste of Ramen noodles from the noodle 
maker to you when you follow the directions on the Ramen noodle 
package (by adding water, and so on, to reconstitute them).

Topic maps (the noodles) transfer knowledge (the taste of noodles)
when you process them using the topic map Processing Model
(the directions on the package).
