This paper describes Semants, a work-in progress framework that uses the Wikipedia as focal point to collect information from various resources. Semants aims at developing several specialized applications (the ants) that are used to convert a resource into a topic map fragment that is merged into a bigger topic map.

Autonome Topic Maps. Zur dezentralen Erstellung von implizit und explizit vernetzten ...
by Lutz Maicher

As a former information scientist, I am fascinated since 1999 by the capabilities for building Topic Maps-based knowledge systems having the potential to augment human mind. One can model arbitrary knowledge organization systems, deal with semantic heterogeneity, collocate all facts about one subject in one logical place, and with TMQL have semantic retrieval on federated semantic networks. Therefore I expect bright prospects for business concepts building on the exchange of such knowledge snippets via semantic knowledge services.
