Great news from the world of Topic Maps: Bouvet is planning to open source the Ontopia Knowledge Suite (OKS) later this year.
In case you don’t know, the OKS is a great topic maps engine and toolbox with features such as a navigator framework, web editor framework, the Ontopoly ontology editor, DB2TM (database to topic maps synchronization tool), TMRAP, etc. Learn more about OKS.
This ought to be a real treat for both the Topic Maps as well as the Open Source community at large!

/ 16/04/2009Thank you for the kind words, Trond. And it seems we both need to work harder to remember that the new name of the product is Ontopia.

/ 17/04/2009@Lars Marius: Sure — and I can assure you it’s not just because I’m a Bouvet employee … I really like working with the OKS, eh, Ontopia.
I especially like how easy it is to do mock ups / prototyping (due to the navigator framework and tolog) and even fully functional views on topic maps.
The great news is that soon you wont need 300.000 NOK in order to do so

/ 06/05/2009Very much praised decision! Hope this will pave the way for larger understanding how well thought knowledge/information management concept Topic Maps is and to foster the dev community activity with a solid SW framework. Kippis!
