graphic language for describing TopicMaps: msg#00039

Subject: graphic language for describing TopicMaps
Hi there,

I'm just writing a complete documentation about a content management system with topicmaps i builded. Therefore i have to describe a lot of topic maps and PSI sets. When i had done this work with plain XML, i could describe the data structure with XSD. But since there is no TMCL i have to do it in a visual way with digrams. But is there a standardised way of creating a digram which describes a topicmap or a topicmap typesystem which does not only include topics, it also includes association types with specified roles and cardinalities.

Should i use UML?
How are you guys describing your topicmaps? Are you using rectangles for topics and circles for associations, how do you show that something is scopeable?

thanx
stefan
