Hi,
As for some sort of XTM processor, a lightweight one that did
most of what TM4J does would be very cool, though in looking at
TM4J I don't know what you could trim, apart from not having the
storage backends (i.e., doing everything in memory), and perhaps
dumping the utility classes. Perhaps you could try to take a copy
of TM4J and doing something like that to see how small you could
make it, rather than building it up from scratch. As a contributor
to Kal's project I know its code pretty well, and as Lars Marius
says, it's non-trivial (which is putting it mildly).
I'm working with TMAPI for some time now and i'm trying to push it where
i can, so why not make a minimal in memory Implementation of TMAPI with
a small XML-push parser like KXML.
At my univiersity we have a project called "shark", where we use a
TopicMap Engine on J2ME, which is a TMAPI impl with xml-push parser
(kxml) and a RecordStore Backend. Unfortunatly its not OpenSource.
I looked into hypergraphs CVS and saw that he tries to use TMAPI.
I have nothing to do at the weekend, so if everyone is ok with a
lightweight TMAPI in memory impl. with small xml-parser, i could
contribute some code.
