Re: [Phptmapi-discuss] ANN: PHPTMAPI 2.1 released

[Johannes S. <jsc...@t8...>]

Hi Andrius,

PHPTMAPI is just an API, a set of interfaces enriched by some exceptions 
and a TopicMapSystemFactory class.

So, the (IMO) correct requirements would be to provide demos how to use 
a) an _implementation_ of PHPTMAPI and - more general - how to use b) 
Topic Maps in a PHP application.

To answer a): The only impl. of PHPTMAPI I know is QuaaxTM [1]. The 
download package contains an example.php [2] which provides a simple 
usage example with lots of comments. Pls. have a look at this.

To answer b) (much harder): There are very different use cases for Topic 
Maps. I remember a short thread on the toicmapmail ML [3] which might 
help a bit as it is about applications. A "Topic Maps engine" [4] 
provides access to Topic Maps data (topic maps, topics, associations, 
etc.) - it's the "M" in MVC to come back to the thread mentioned above.
It's up to you what you would like to model with Topic Maps  - and it is 
also up to you what your application will "do" with Topic Maps data 
and/or present that data in the UI. PHPTMAPI is just an API, QuaaxTM 
just an implementation of PHPTMAPI, a tool to "do Topic Maps".

Cheers,
Johannes
