Hi Marcel, [...] > In short: converting raw material into Topic Maps (or RDF) makes it easier > to apply ontologies. And with this enhanced data we can merge other sources > like "George W. Bush"-ish sources. Or? Yes, you can. And adding more useful topics/subjects to the WikiLeaks Afghanistan topic map was/is my point. I want to see "Taliban", "Kabul", "Mazari Sharif" and the relationships. I see "Kabul" and "Mazari Sharif" but no relationships. They are cities and they have coordinates... . Hmm ... Maybe I was too harsh/not specific enough with the criticism of the topic map, but having something as topic map is not a value of its own. If the topic map is developed further it may become more useful. Currently, it consists mainly of (IMO) not very useful occurrences which are a literally translation of CSV data.
