Taxonomies, Ontologies and Topic Maps

By serving as a knowledge layer between storage devices such as databases and user interfaces like web browsers, Topic Maps enable guided navigation through enormous volumes of content. They also let users share knowledge independently of proprietary systems.

By creating meaningful description of the relationship between subjects, Topic Maps allow information or business objects to be connected semantically via the following methods:

• Defining interaction between a person and specific domain of knowledge
• Ensuring that relevant subjects populate the interface
• Specifying important relationships between subjects
• Indicating relevant qualifications of subjects and relationships
• Citing all relevant occurrences of subjects
