This example or my wording or both caused some confusion.

Please note that the service cannot convert arbitrary RDFa + HTML
pages into a topic map. You need to specify a mapping. And the mapping
file <http://mappify.googlecode.com/svn/sandbox/example/rdfa.crtm>
maps just a subset of the GoodRelations tiples to Topic Maps (plus
some FOAF / common RDF triples).

Further, the mapping is not very useful since it uses PSIs like
<http://psi.example.org/offerer> which do not exist.

Users may provide mappings either in an RDF format [1] or in CRTM [2].
