Sure. I was looking for something I can understand. ;) If you have a
look at <http://openlibrary.org/books/OL17184155M.rdf> you'd
understand the relationships (although "Walther, Ingo F.", "Köln"
"Benedikt Taschen Verlag" etc. should be subjects as well, of course).

But I don't understand the topic map since it is more or less a one to
one mapping.

That's nice. I didn't recognize that.

Okay. :)
