Back when I was in the university I took an undergraduate subject called Web programming. As part of that class, each student had to build a web site presenting the Shakespeare plays in a given format. The source was a bunch of XML documents. Building the site using PHP and SAX parsing was fun enough [...]

Setting Up Zope Topic Maps (ZTM3)
The newest version of the open source CMS (SMS (?)) based on Zope and Topic Maps – ZTM3 reached beta stage earlier this year.
While its predecessor — ZTM2, running on Zope 2.x — has been empowering a multitude of web portals for years (examples: Arctic-Council.org, Forbrukerportalen.no, Hoyre.no), ZTM3 is a new and completely re-written ZTM implementation built on the “Zope 3 eco system”.
It initially started with the new University of Bergen (UiB) web site, which is the only publicly available ZTM3 empowered site to date (presented at Topic Maps 2009), and is (as far as I know) currently used by the UiB and one additional organization.
Released under the LGPL/GPL license and fully open source, there is, however, no reason why it should end there.

Topic Maps 2009: Conference Day
The Format Unlike last years Topic Maps conference this year’s conference was not international, but Norwegian. It contained one Norwegian and one English track. In my opinion, this was all for the better. Where you last year could tell that some of the presenters were a bit uncomfortable with presenting their work in English, this [...]

Notes from the Wandora workshop: On the tutorial day of the Topic Maps 2009 conference I attended the Wandora workshop — lead by Olli Lyytinen of Grip Studios Interactive, Finland.
