By being a subject expert and either by writing the XTM code
or using a TM editor like empolis k42 Web Author (see
k42.empolis.co.uk/ for free download).

Right. Sounds like a lot of work but that's it.

Alternative is that all your resources are already
somehow indexed in an electronic form. In such a case the creation
of the TM could be done (semi-) automatical - like a conversion
from RTF to XML.

Visit Steve Pepper's tutorial, entitled "Modelling 
Topic Maps" at the Extreme Markup conference in 
Montréal next month. For more details, see 
http://www.extrememarkup.net/extreme/2001/monday.htm#pepper.

He will give a "full description" how to model a TM.
