Re: Topicmaps vs. OWL

Hi Kjetil, (nice to see you here :-),

| But how about topic maps and OWL? 

It helps to first understand what OWL is. It's basically the
standardized successor of DAML+OIL, and is simply a constraint
language for RDF. So it plays the same role with respect to RDF that
XML Schema and DTDs do with respect to XML.

Topic maps will have something similar, to be called TMCL, which you
can find bit more information about here:

Hope this helps.
 
| I'd love to read something about that one day... :-)

I'm going to present a paper at a conference in May which will cover
this, but you'll have to wait some months for it. :)
