Hi Folks Jonathan Borden > I am not sure what a "Published Subject Indicator" is, so at least I did not > consider that solution. What would that look like? John Cowan > A subject indicator is a resource (web page, mailbox, what have you) > that by convention refers to a certain concept or Real World object. Want to find more updated stuff about Published Subjects? Stay tuned with OASIS Topic Maps Published Subjects Technical Committee http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tm-pubsubj/index.shtml You will see that we are struggling now to refine definitions and set recommendations. See particularly (still in the working, new release TBD those days) http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tm-pubsubj/docs/recommendations/psdoc.htm Just a remark. A "subject indicator", or "subject definition resource" - depending if you consider the viewpoint of the publisher or the one of the user, e.g. topic map author - can identify *any* kind of subject, be it real-world individual object, concept, notion ... whatever can be "reified" by a <topic> element in a topic map. Hope that helps.
