This paper firstly gives the introduction of topic map, and its relationship with index, glossary, taxonomy,ontology, and semantic Web, and then the suitability of topic map for digial information organization is discussed. Then introduces an experimental study on the application of topic map technology in knowledge navigation for a dust
devil archive. The paper presents procedures and methods to build topic map ontology, a comparision between two topic map visualization application tools, and atool for exporting XTM file and signing the document with topic map. At last, the potential application and development of topic map is discussed.

Navigating haystacks and discovering needles: Introducing the new topic map standard

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.
