Lars Marius Garshol's schema for topic maps in RDF
Topic Maps have a concept of context that provides a way to identify an environment in which the association is valid.
Topic Maps, implemented through the ISO/IEC 13250 standard, are designed to facilitate the organisation and navigation of large collections of information objects by creating meta-level perspectives of their underlying concepts and relationships.

Linguistics is a highly theoretical discipline, similar to and drawing from philosophy, computing and artificial intelligence, anthropology, and cognitive psychology.
Linguistics majors often go on for advanced degrees in fields such as Anthropology, Business, Communications, Computer Science, Education (Language Arts and Language teaching), Journalism, Neurosciences (for the study of, e.g., dyslexia and aphasia), Speech and Hearing Sciences, Philosophy, and Psychology.
Beyond simply learning how to speak a language, linguistics majors are interested in language as an object of study.

 Topic Maps — Data Model
Topic maps may be represented in many ways: using Topic Maps syntaxes in files, inside databases, as internal data structures in running programs, and even mentally in the minds of humans.
Topic Maps is a technology for encoding knowledge and connecting this encoded knowledge to relevant information resources.
The purpose of the data model is to define the interpretation of the Topic Maps interchange syntaxes, and to serve as a foundation for the definition of supporting standards for canonicalization, querying, constraints, and so on.

The CSLI LinGO Lab is committed to the development of linguistically precise grammars based on the HPSG framework, and general-purpose tools for use in grammar engineering, profiling, parsing and generation.
Early work in the CSLI LinGO Lab focused on the construction of a general-purpose grammar of English in the form of the English Resource Grammar (or ERG), and on further development of the LKB grammar engineering system.
For example, a lexicographer or terminologist can use TIGERSearch to find out about lexical properties of a word like the collocations the word is used in.

Topic maps are being used as the structuring paradigm for portals to all sorts of information.
Topic maps are abstract structures which encode information about a domain and connect this information to information resources that are considered relevant to the domain.
Topic Maps tools are ideally suited for providing the infrastructure to content intelligence solutions because of: the separation between subject management, subject organization and contents; (2) the ability to implement decentralized interoperable solutions; (3) the ability to reuse and exploit the existing information organization within the enterprises.

Topic map nodes are objects in the system's internal representation of a topic map that represent topics, associations, and scopes.
A topic is a resource within the computer that stands in for (or “reifies”) some real-world subject.
In order to discourse on a subject within the topic map paradigm, that subject must be reified through the creation of a topic.

But when they understand topic, it becomes a logical system instead of a random collection of "things $_ does".
Still, the best way to understand topic in Perl is to understand its source.

The topic map structure is flexible enough to represent both domain knowledge and document classification schemes.
Unlike a traditional relational database schema, however, the topic map knowledge structure is entirely data-driven, allowing an unparalleled degree of freedom to refine and update schemas without impacting existing applications.
Kal Ahmed and Graham Moore of NetworkedPlanet have contributed an article describing topic maps and topic map design patterns to Microsoft's Architect JOURNAL, which is published as part of the Microsoft Developers Network (MSDN) Library.

Topics covered include tutorials for using the XTM specification, topic maps for website Information Architecture, Knowledge Representation, Ontological Engineering, e-learning, visualisation, relationship to RDF, information about various software implementations (a bit dated now, but still valuable), as well as sample topic maps and XSLT code.
Related topics are covered in Chapters 10 through 13, including open source tools, RDF (widely used as a mechanism for weblogs and blogs that are gaining popularity), and semantic networks (intelligent agent-based systems).
The first four chapters are a blend of historical information about XTM (XML topic maps) and fundamental technical information that describes design rationale and components of XTM (which is a separate open source initiative that is based on the ISO/IEC 13250 Topic Maps standard).

 XML Topic Maps
Topic Maps can be built above many different digital information formats including XML.
Since they can be in separate documents, and since they can work without changing the source information set, we say that Topic Maps can be applied from "above" the information set, rather than from "inside" them; they are superimposed views.
Many things must be taken into consideration to assure that Topic Maps will "fit" with the new Web environment.

 ISO/IEC JTC1/SC34 N323: Guide to the topic map standards
This language is intended to be a kind of SQL (or XML Query) for topic maps, and will greatly simplify topic map application development by making it much easier to extract information from topic maps.
This means that in order to see how a topic map engine interprets an XTM file, one could import that file into the engine, and then export it using the canonical syntax.
It is easy to create a set of topic map documents in the XTM and HyTM syntaxes, but harder to define what their correct interpretation is.
