”It was born when the Wall fell in 1989. […] The spread of free markets and democracy around the world is permitting more people everywhere to turn their aspirations into achievements. And technology, properly harnessed and liberally distributed, has the power to erase not just geographical borders but also human ones.”

” …Providing a way for incomplete,imperfect utterances to contribute, in some useful way, to the ongoing intellectual life of the human species is essential” – S. Newcomb

”Relationships between objects and various groups of objects affords users many ways in towards the same content, and stimulates to cross-site content exploration”

”Visualisation of this network is supposed to give the user a conseptual model of the network, and give a feeling of being in a ’relational space’”

Topic Maps Core arrives05:03, 7 Dec 2000 UTC | Simon St.Laurent

Topicmaps.org has delivered a stable set of core deliverables, along with a draft of XML Topic Maps 1.0 and the XML Topic Maps Processing Model.

XTM is built on ISO 13250, which defines: "a standardized notation for interchangeably representing information about the structure of information resources used to define topics, and the relationships between topics.... A topic map defines a multidimensional topic space -- a space in which the locations are topics, and in which the distances between topics are measurable in terms of the number of intervening topics which must be visited in order to get from one topic to another, and the kinds of relationships that define the path from one topic to another, if any, through the intervening topics, if any."

The core deliverables includes the parts of XTM which are "not subject to any future change that would invalidate any XTM document or XTM application that conforms", while XTM 1.0 includes both those core delivrables and additional content which are still subject to "Authoring Group (AG) Review process.”

…And we went thinking…:

”Design Once – Deploy Everywhere”?

"The clash of civilizations will dominate global politics. The fault lines between civilizations will be the battle lines of the future."

The customers were saying nice things…

• ”For å si det som det er: Jeg ble nesten svimmel over hvor mye mer tilgjengelige artiklene var” - Jon Solberg, Norges forskningsråd på Emnekart 2002

• ”Det er mye artigere å publisere enn før. Emnekart gir ubegrensede muligheter” – Eli Rekstad, tidl. Forbrukerrådet, til Computerworld

• ”Det blir veldig lett fordi det er sånn hjernen fungerer. Man tenker assosiativt” - Steinar Q. Andersen, tidl. forskning.no, til Computerworld

Requests for Tender began saying…

• ”Vi opplever at det kan være vanskelig å finne en del av informasjonen man søker etter. Derfor ønsker vi å endre strukturen og designen på www.skatteetaten.no. Målet er å gjøre det enklere for brukerne å finne akkurat det de er ute etter.”

• ”Løsningen skal ha mulighet for bruk av emnekart (Topic Map) eller tilsvarende for navigering og søking i informasjonsstrukturen.”

[Fra “Ny informasjonsstruktur og design på www.skatteetaten.no”, 9. april 2003]

"We must understand that worldviews provide essential contexts for communication and that communication rests on our intuitive ability to cross the chasm between symbolic expressions and reality. We must work to provide computers with increasing sensitivity to (that is, apparent awareness of and ability to act upon) diverse human contexts. […] We must accept partial solutions and partial expressions, demanding neither compre-hensiveness nor perfection. There never will be any such thing as a “complete” topic map, or one true ontology suitable for all contexts, or a holy grail of “knowledge.” A single human being or organi-zation can accomplish something only within some limited scope.“- S. Newcomb

"It is through dialogue that the victory of smile over sword, compassion over hate, and justice over discrimination and injustice can be celebrated. The readiness of the rational world for dialogue has raised hopes for the dawn of a noble life. We march along this path heartened by the divine promise that “is not the dawn near?”

- Seyed Mohammad Khatami
