[Smith, T. <Tim...@ds...>]

Okay, I have been using <instanceOf> for parent-child relationships. On the
topic map mail list someone said this was bad and the way to go was
>    <association>
>      <instanceOf><topicRef xlink:href="#parent-child"/></instanceOf>
>      <member>
>        <roleSpec><topicRef xlink:href="#parent"/></roleSpec>
>        <topicRef xlink:href="#BA"/>
>      </member>
>      <member>
>        <roleSpec><topicRef xlink:href="#child"/></roleSpec>
>        <topicRef xlink:href="#BA1"/>
>      </member>
>    </association>
I now have
<association>
  <instanceOf><topicRef
xlink:href="http://www.topicmaps.org/xtm/1.0/core.xtm#superclass-subclass"/>
</instanceOf>
  <member>
    <roleSpec><topicRef
xlink:href="http://www.topicmaps.org/xtm/1.0/core.xtm#superclass"/></roleSpe
c>
    <topicRef xlink:href="#A-Parent"/>
      </member>
  <member>
    <roleSpec><topicRef
xlink:href="http://www.topicmaps.org/xtm/1.0/core.xtm#subclass"/></roleSpec>
    <topicRef xlink:href="#A-Child"/>
    </member>
</association>
HOWEVER as I understand it that would be dynamic interlinking/merging, which
is not supported by TM4j (yet)
CONSEQUENTLY am I required to redefine these 3 concepts with appropriate
SIs, and if I do, will they STILL count as PSIs to TM4j (so I can check for
PSI types)
Puzzledly yours,
