Abstract:
CouchTM - the topic maps engine with CouchDB as backend - is released.
Apache CouchDB is a document-oriented database that can be queried and indexed in a MapReduce fashion. According to the website CouchDB is:
- A document database server, accessible via a RESTful JSON API.
- Ad-hoc and schema-free with a flat address space.
- Distributed, featuring robust, incremental replication with bi-directional conflict detection and management.
- Query-able and index-able, featuring a table oriented reporting engine that uses JavaScript as a query language.
Inspired by the increasing impact of NoSQL approaches like CoucDB we developed CouchTM. This a TMAPI topic maps engine which uses the CouchDB as backend. CouchTM can be used like any other Java based topic maps engine. Hans-Henning Koch’s Bachlor thesis provides more information about CouchTM (in German). CouchTM as well CouchDB are available as open source.

I like the easy but powerful way of merging Topic Maps to extend and combine existing knowledge bases. Thus I see high potential in distributed environments where peer to peer solutions may open the gates to the real Web 3.0.
