[topicmaps-comment] TM Project: Syndication, Channels

[Robert Barta <rho@bigpond.net.au>]

Hi, TM'ers,

FYI, we have started with a small project

  "Topic Map Syndication, Channels"

"Our goal for this project is to create a Topic Map equivalence of RSS."

"... how channels and items can be represented in AsTMa= notation. Further 
down the road we will also develop some constraints rules in AsTMa! which 
serve the same purpose as RDF/DTDs for RSS".

"... The creation of a syndication ontology is however only a part of the 
project. We will create a Perl package library to convert between the two 
formats (RSS and TMSS) as well as function as a interface between the 
RSS/TMSS file and the user."

The site is, uhm....under construction:

If you have ideas in this sector which you want to share with us, please
feel free to contact me.
