Hi Conal,

I believe the standard practice for this kind of thing is to use scope.
It's quite simple to use scoping topics to attach metadata to an
occurrence. In my work, I am frequently harvesting topic maps from a
variety of sources, and merging them. I create a topic to represent a
source topic map, and all occurrences harvested from that source are
automatically scoped with that particular harvest topic. The harvest
topic then has any necessary metadata attached. See the documentation on
the XTM mergeMap element:
http://www.topicmaps.org/xtm/index.html#elt-mergeMap
That looks like an XTM 1.0 process.
I have a worry that the process you describe doesn't seem to match up
with the forthcoming version of mergeMap

Sincerely,
Peter
