First German Topic Maps Congress at April 10, 2003
in Darmstadt

The first German Topic Maps Congress will take place
at April 10, 2003 in Darmstadt. The "XML Topic Maps"
congress is organized by ZGDV (http://www.zgdv.de) -
well known for its successful series of XML congresses -
and sponsored by empolis (http://www.empolis.com).
Ten presenters (users, vendors, academics) will talk
about how Topic Maps work, available tools, how to 
develop Topic Maps, how to visualize them, and how 
to integrate them with the Semantic Web approach. 
Real-world use cases will demonstrate various 
applications of Topic Maps. The keynote, presented 
by empolis CTO Stefan Wess, will provide the latest 
trends and technologies for knowledge management and 
explain the role Topic Maps play in the KM scenario. The 
one-day congress will finish with a moderated panel 
discussion giving the attendees the opportunity for a 
lively Q&A session.

The congress language is German.
