Hi all,

please excuse cross-postings of this.
I presented a paper "on the integration of Topic Maps and RDF" at last
week's Semantic Web Workshop at Stanford and would like to hear your opinion
on our approach to this problem. You can download the paper at
http://www.semanticweb.org/SWWS/program/full/paper53.pdf. We provide a way
to make Topic Map sources RDF-queriable by exchanging one layer in a layered
data model stack. The exchange is essentially a mapping of graph
characteristics. The result is an RDF Model, "pretending" to be a Topic Map.
