Here are a lot of voices claiming, the current TMQL draft is too hard to understand and to implement. We argue that it is not the content but the presentation thereof. A clear user-centric documentation with lots of examples and a straightforward, modulary, publicly available implementation in a mainstream programming language will greatly help the understanding and acceptance of the current efforts. Additionally, this modulary implementation can show possible ways to modularize the standard itself.

As a former information scientist, I am fascinated since 1999 by the capabilities for building Topic Maps-based knowledge systems having the potential to augment human mind. One can model arbitrary knowledge organization systems, deal with semantic heterogeneity, collocate all facts about one subject in one logical place, and with TMQL have semantic retrieval on federated semantic networks. Therefore I expect bright prospects for business concepts building on the exchange of such knowledge snippets via semantic knowledge services.
