Maiana - the Social Topic Maps Browser (June release)

Dear Topicmappers,

a few days ago a new version of Maiana [1] - the social Topic Maps 
explorer - went online. I would like to present the new features to 
awake your interest :-).

* RDF export: You can export any topic (like Puccini [2]) as Data/N3 [3] 
or RDF/XML [4]. You'll find the links to this feature in the export menu 
at the top left of each topic page. There, you may also start browsing 
the topic in the OpenLink Data Explorer and Zitgist.

* Editing of names: This is an experimental feature that allows editing 
of topic names in your own non-virtual topic maps. These are maps 
created by using the "Upload" or "URL" options. Currently, the changes 
are not persisted and the owner may reload his/her map to roll back all 
changes.

* TMQL: From now on you may run TMQL queries in "Container" and 
"Exploration" topic maps. For example try querying

	http://psi.ontopedia.net/Opera >> instances

in the "Operas" topic map [5] to get the Italian and Norwegian operas.

* Statistics: The statistics page [6] shows information about the number 
of topics, associations, names, occurrences ... and about load duration 
and memory consumption.

* Integrating Mappify [7]: Mappify is a service which converts DBpedia 
and other RDF sources into Topic Maps. You can directly use Mappify URLs 
to create topic maps in the "URL" section. You can also use a Mappify 
URL as seed for "Exploration" maps:

http://ws.mappify.org/wp/url/http%3A%2F%2Fdbpedia.org%2Fresource%2FTopic_Maps?out=ctm

This topic map [8] was created using the URL. Most interesting in this 
map is, of course, the "Topic Maps" topic [9].

I would be happy to get feedback :-). From now on, you may also request 
features or report issues in our public issue tracker [10].

Best regards,
Uta Schulze
