We introduce rest-tm, a specication for a topic map engine that fully conforms to the constraints of REST. Rest-tm meets the need of several use cases for topic maps identified in the ULLISE project, where topic maps are used to describe space experiments from various scientific disciplines. The design supports different granularity levels in topic map interaction, and oers solutions for resources in terms of versioning, navigation, querying and representation. We describe the resources provided by rest-tm to access topic map constructs, and touch upon the available media types that can be used to describe these.
