Information delivery via web-based access to databases is ubiquitous. Nevertheless, the wealth of information held in many of these resources is poorly accessible, due also to the limited number of views provided, and frontends merely reflecting their backends’ data-centric relational information architectures. We suggest using Topic Maps-based web frontends on top of relational resources for improving their usability by subject-centric information delivery, and demonstrate the approach with the use case of the descriptive variety lists of Germany’s Bundessortenamt.
