Topics as document proxies using kamala - SVN Morpheus uses SVN as version control system for

code development Besides this we use SVN for other business related

documents as well For example, all meeting notes are written by hand and

committed to SVN A trigger is written that creates a topic as proxy for

each document that is committed A subject locator is used that links to the document Locator is automatically updated if user moves a file

Topics as document proxies using kamala - topic map From the topic as document proxy we can grow the

topic map Constraints reveal ‘gaps’ in the topic map The topic map grows into a real network starting

from every day use of writing documents Topics as document proxies provides 2-way access

The document can be found from the topic map• ‘Give me all ongoing Topic Maps related business efforts’

Metadata about the document can be included when looking at the document (WebSVN plugin, TMFS, ...)

Directory structures become irrelevant because documents can be found using facets based interface

Topics as document proxies using kamala - kamala kamala is a javascript framework that

generates a Topic Maps editor Interface is driven by ontology and

constraints, both included in the topic map Even page layout and authorisation can be

included, all stored within the topic map Pluggable into other webapplications Usable with any Topic Maps engine
