Excuse the beginner question. I see a lot of questions here about how to
"best" express certain things. Often followed by a lot of discussion and
sometimes a resolution.
Would it be correct to compare this to a question on how to best create
a database model for certain things? The simple stuff you can just give
people a good way to model it that works. But for anything more complex
it really depends on what they want to do with the model (what kind of
queries affects how you design your database).
And if that is true, is there anything like normalization rules for
topicmaps?
And is there anything like best topicmap creation practices (in the
database world: "normalize first, but keep in mind how you'll use the
data and then un-normalize where needed")?
Cheers,
Peter
