Hi Alastair,
I havn't done much topic mapping lately, but can you not reify the
occurrence and tell your application to display that topic's basename
instead? Something along the following lines:
<topic id="reifiedOccurrence">
<subjectIdentity>
<resourceRef xlink:href="#googleStressSearch"/>
</subjectIdentity>
<baseName>
<baseNameString>'Stress' from Google</baseNameString>
</baseName>
</topic>
As far as I can see the XTM specification doesn't allow to specify
basenames for occurences directly.
Cheers,
Knud

Hi guys,
I was wondering if there is a simple way of expessing a baseName for
an occurrence? At the moment I might have something like :-
<topic id="webPage">
<baseName>
<baseNameString>Web Page</baseNameString>
</baseName>
</topic>
<topic id="stressInTheWorkplace">
<baseName>
<baseNameString>Stress (In the
Workplace)</baseNameString>
</baseName>
<occurrence id="googleStressSearch">
<instanceOf>
<topicRef
xlink:href="#webPage"></topicRef>
</instanceOf>
<resourceRef
xlink:href="http://www.google.com?q=stress+workplace";></resourceRef>
</occurrence>
</topic>
Which is all very well producing the occurrence
Web Page
◦ http://www.google.com?q=stress+workplace
Whereas what I actually want to pass is something along the lines of :-
Web Page
◦ 'Stress' from google
Normally you could express this with xlink via a show attribute :-
<resourceRef
xlink:href="http://www.google.com?q=stress+workplace";
xlink:show="Stress search from google">
</resourceRef>
But the XML Topic Maps (XTM) 1.0 standard only supports type and href :
<!ATTLIST resourceRef
id ID #IMPLIED
xlink:type NMTOKEN #FIXED 'simple'
xlink:href CDATA #REQUIRED
>
Any ideas?
