Empirical comparison of RDF and Topic Maps

Dear All

Currently I am working in a European project that uses both RDF and XTM. I am new to RDF and Topic Maps, but I am trying to develop a set of criteria for empirical comparison between the two. I have already found articles on the theoretical comparison, but none of empirical comparison. 

I already have some ideas, but I would like to enforce them with "on the ground" specialists. What do you think should be compared and how? I will be grateful if you could give me any suggestions or ideas.

Thank you very much for your kind help in advance, and I would be happy to share the first result of this task with you.

Best regards,
Tomoko
