Billy-Corgan.com Re-Launched as Topic Maps Based Website

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.
