IMO it would be better if [...] Example: If you send me a file "mymap.ctm" with the following content: tinytim. and I place it into the directory "/home/lars/maps/" and I read it into my engine, I get a topic with the item identifier <file:///home/lars/maps/mymap.ctm#tinytim>. And if I send that file to my friend Donald Duck (assuming that Duckburg has a broadband connection ;)) and he places that file into the directory "/home/donald/", and he reads that file in, he gets a topic with the item identifier <file:///home/donald/mymap.ctm#tinytim>. You see, the local identifiers are never stable. If you want, that I get back exactly the same topic map, you have to tell me your document IRI and I can provide that document IRI to my TopicMapReader.
