Maiana - The social Topic Maps explorer
Presentation, was published by Uta Schulze and Lutz Maicher at 2010-09-30
In short, Maiana is the first social Topic Maps browser to share, mix and explore data interlinked. The platform is based on the Ruby on Rails web technology running with JRuby and uses the Topic Maps engine RTM. RTM manages the connections to several other Topic Maps engines like Ontopia, MaJorToM and Hatana.

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.
