No disagreement at all. But if I'd have the challenge to explain a
novice the differences between Google Maps and Topic Maps I'd choose
Steve's map. Topic Maps is about more than topics and occurrences. I
don't like for different reasons the term "TAO" (that's another story)
but it has been invented for some good reason and it's better than TO.

ACK. But Topic Maps deserves a more advanced mapping.

Best regards,
