Hi Guy,

I am currently working on topic maps and a topic map viewer integrated in a
browser (work in progress to be showed soon).

As you discovered, topic maps is derived from Hytime and are SGML based. So,
I am working on a topic map subset using URLs, URNs and being XML based
 the Hytime varlink is quite versatile and can support diverse location
notations).

Michel texts on topic maps ( on the infoloom site) has been useful and I got
some help from people at the topic maps mailing list. I think you can
register to this list at: http://www.infoloom.com.

Hi.

Is anyone aware of any Topic Navigation Maps out there, as per the ISO 13250
spec?

I've read some introductory material, and I'm grasping the overview OK. Now
reading through the spec, the nitty gritties just aren't falling into place
for me. I'm not sure they're going to in any timely fashion without a gander
at an existing topic map.

Oh, and while I'm begging pointers, if anybody has a favourite resource on
HyTime Linking (something descrete, I've seen the voluminous refs, and they
scare me) to recommend my life would I think be complete :)

Thanks for any pointers.

Cheers

    Guy
