A distributed Topic Map architecture for enterprise knowledge management

Topic Maps offer a powerful foundation for knowledge representation and the implementation of knowledge management applications. Using ontologies to model knowledge structures, they offer concepts to link these knowledge structures with unstructured data stored in files, external documents etc. This paper presents the architecture and prototypical implementation of a Topic Map application infrastructure (called “Topic Grid” in the following) allowing transparent access to different Topic Maps distributed in a network. To a client of the Topic Grid, it appears as if access to a single virtual Topic Map is provided. The Topic Grid architecture is designed as a multi-protocol layered model in order to enhance its reusability.

I like the easy but powerful way of merging Topic Maps to extend and combine existing knowledge bases. Thus I see high potential in distributed environments where peer to peer solutions may open the gates to the real Web 3.0.
