The purpose of this thesis project is to develop an XTM (XML Topic Maps) wrapper, called
XTMWrapper, for the functional and object-oriented DBMS Amos II so that XTM files can be
accessed through Amos II using its query language, AmosQL. The wrapper can be used as a database loader for XTM files. The wrapper parses XTM files, translates them into an Amos II data representation, and populates the Amos II database. To represent imported Topic Map data in Amos II, a schema for Topic Maps is developed in terms of its functional data model. The schema represents any Topic Map independent of what the Topic Map describes. The wrapper is written in Java and utilizes a publicly available Topic Map engine, TM4J (Topic Map for Java).
