Afghanistan War Diary as topic map in Maiana

Hi there,

there is a new topic map available in Maiana which might be in interest 
for you. Under [1] you will find the 2004 time slice of the Afghanistan 
War Diary. The original data is purchased by WikiLeaks; we transformed 
this data into a topic map. Please feel free to play around with this 
map in Maiana, or download it for your own purposes or applications.

You can make your own TMQL queries [2] to ask more complex questions 
against the war diary. In example, if you are interested in all reports 
which were attacks on enemies with more than one friendly wounded and 
which took place in the souther region please try the following query:

%prefix wds http://psi.topicmapslab.de/wardiary/schema/
wds:involved_party_ENEMY >> traverse wds:reported_attackon [ . / 
wds:friendlywia > 1 & . >> traverse wds:reported_region == 
wds:region_RC_SOUTH ]

Each report topic in the topic map has as an occurrence with the geo 
coordinates of the event. This allows you to play around with the geo 
distance function in TMQL. If you are interested in all cities which are 
400 km around the report with the number 
E218547B-ACEC-40F1-816A-1D04709DC885 simply try:

%prefix wds http://psi.topicmapslab.de/wardiary/schema/
%prefix wdr http://psi.topicmapslab.de/wardiary/report/
%prefix geo http://psi.ontopia.net/geography/

// geo:city [ fn:distance( . / wds:coordinates , 
wdr:report_E218547B-ACEC-40F1-816A-1D04709DC885 / wds:coordinates ) <= 400 ]

Any questions or feedback are welcome!

Greetings from Leipzig, Lutz
