There are a number of shortcut ways to construct maps or graphs already that do not touch 1) or 2), both for topic maps and for rdf, and I imagine many people on the list have rolled their own at one time or another, too. I don't see OPML as helping out much in these areas, so although I was looking at it for a while last year, I haven't pursued it. Cheers, Tom P
