Topic Map Relational Query Language - TMRQL

This paper outlines the Topic Map Relational Query Language (TMRQL).

Topic Map Relational Query Language (TMRQL) has been designed in order to provide a sound foundation for querying topics maps. To this end it does not define an entire new language but instead presents a core set of abstract relational views.
