This site is intended to be a repository of information for Topic Maps especially as they relate to libraries.
What is XTM?
As defined in the XTM specification, a topic is an addressable resource within a computer that stands in for (or “reifies”) some real-world subject. A topic map conveys knowledge about those resources (and therefore about the subjects they reify) through a superimposed layer, or map, of the resources. Furthermore, a topic map captures information about subjects, and the relationships between subjects, in a way that is implementation-independent. See http://www.xinfomodel.com/glossary.html
