TopicMaps.Org

Topicmaps.Org is an independent consortium of parties interested in developing the applicability of the Topic Maps Paradigm[1] to the World Wide Web, by leveraging the XML family of specifications as required.

This work includes the development of version 1.0 of an XML grammar for interchanging Web-based Topic Maps, called XML Topic Maps (XTM) Version 1.0, written by the Topicmaps.Org Authoring Group. All versions of the XTM Specification will be permanently licensed to the public.

Please check the XTM Home Page for links to the specifications, bibliographic and other related information.

More information on XTM and TopicMaps.Org is available at About Topicmaps.Org.

Note that we are providing a directory of XTM logos for promotion of XTM. These are available in various formats and sizes. All are Copyright 2000 TopicMaps.Org, All Rights Reserved.

Any errors, omissions, suggestions, broken links, etc. regarding this site, please contact <postmaster@topicmaps.org>.

There is a mailing list for the XTM Working Group open to anyone interested. XTM-WG is a place where users and implementors can meet to discuss the XML version of topic maps. You need to register at YahooGroups and join XTM-WG. You can read the archive at http://www.yahoogroups.com/list/xtm-wg.

Revisions to this XTM site are available in a separate document.
