"Topic Maps"

TOMA


The ISO standard ISO/IEC 13250:2000 Topic Maps ("topic map standard") defines
an abstract model for semantically structured, self-describing link networks
laid over a pool of addressable information objects ("topic maps") as a basic
architecture within the following scope of applications:
* To qualify the content of information objects in order to enable 
navigational
tools such as indexes, cross-references, citation systems, or glossaries.
* To link pieces of information together for the purpose of enabling
navigation between them, e.g. for creating thesaurus-like hypertext interfaces
for corporate information and knowledge bases.
* To filter views of information adapted for specific users and/or purposes,
e.g. to define partial views depending on user profiles and/or knowledge 
domains.
* To structure unstructured information objects or to combine unstructured
information bases with structured ones in a way that an arbitrary structure 
is imposed
without altering its original form.

The standard further specifies a serialization syntax as the interchange 
format
of topic maps based on the ISO standard HyTime by means of a meta Document 
Type Definition (DTD).

The workshop TOMA aims at being an international forum for the presentation of
both theoretical and applicative results. Papers describing application 
experiences
are particularly encouraged. Papers presented will deal with, but not 
limited to, the following areas:

* Knowledge Management
* Semantic Web
* Ontologies
* Knowledge Sharing
* Global Knowledge Interchange
