Re: Status of the Dublin Core to Topic Maps mapping?

Hello all

While the standardization goes on and you have a real need for Dublin 
Core to Topic Maps conversion feature, I invite you to try Wandora's 
conversion implementations. Wandora has two different DC to TM mappings: 
"Dublin Core XML extractor" and "Dublin Core RDF extractor". I have not 
been aware of all these standardization efforts and our implementations 
are probably incompatible but hey, subjects can be easily transformed 
anything you like --- one advantage of Topic Maps.

Kind Regards,
Aki / Wandora Team
