Topic Maps / XML Topic Maps

Welcome! This is my little Topic Map playground. Please note that most of the following is work in progress. Right now there are only two things that you might be interested in: The Topic Map for the XML Acronym Demystifier Project (XMLAD-TM) and my xtm2xhtml program (XSLT) that generates XHTML from an XML Topic Map.

Both, XMLAD-TM and xtm2html, are in some kind of alpha-prerelease-use-at-your-own-risk state. If you expect that both do nothing useful, then you won't be disappointed ;-). I know there are many bugs; xtm2xhtml places many constraints on the input XTM (that means, it does not fully support the XTM standard); nothing is documented; the list for future enhancements is longer than the current feature list. But,... finally xtm2xhtml produces an XHTML view of the XMLAD-TM. Currently it's the only XHTML rendering of the XMLAD project.

If you're interested in xtm2xhtml, you may download and use it for non commercial purposes. Please leave it unchanged. If you make any improvements, please send them to me; I will incorporate improvements into the xtm2xthml release. Thanks!

You probably want to proceed to XMLAD-TM or to xtm2xhtml now.
