This article provides an introduction to the new topic map standard (ISO/IEC 13250) with
particular reference to the domain of encyclopaedia publishing, and discusses the
relationship between topic maps and the W3C recommendation Resource Description
Framework (RDF). It is based on the author’s participation in the development of the topic
map standard (representing Norway in SC34, the ISO committee responsible for SGML
and related standards), and two years’ collaboration with leading reference works
publishers in Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Poland and Germany.

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.
