(1) name-based merging (2) xtm-export of assoc role types

Dear TMAPI-sts,

see you in Leipzig this evening!

Marcus Frank, a student whose diploma thesis on semblogging I supervise,
is currently experimenting with TMAP/TMAPI utils and blojsom.

He currently has two problems, maybe you can give us a clue?

(1) name-based merging
Reading bibmap via tmapi throws an error with TM4J, OKS and tinyTIM.
Reading directly with Omnigator or TM4J is no problem.

a) TM4J:
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: getScopedNames
called on non-base topic.
org.tm4j.tmapi.core.TMAPIBaseNameImpl.setValue(TMAPIBaseNameImpl.java:52
)

Durch Ausschalten des name-based merging (wie unten angegeben) konnte
ich dann aber zumindest mit TM4J (mit OKS und tinyTIM nicht) die bibmap
einlesen.

Setting name-based merging to off
$TM4J_HOME/bin/tm4jrun.sh -Dtm4j.name.based.merge=false
according to 
http://www.ontopia.net/topicmaps/irc/irclog/2005-03-03.html
works.

b)
tinyTIM throws error: 
two topics have the same identifier

(2) xtm-export of assoc role types
We have a source-author-relationship between an author of a blog entry
and the entry itself (types: blog entry, person). Assoc role types for
members of the assoc, though typed with tmapi-code, do not find their
way into the XTM exported. Probably we did something wrong here?
