... you can always map something to Topic Maps, but Topic Maps is not
a first class citizen and it will never be. You can always map
something to Topic Maps (regardless of TMDM or TMRM) but Topic Maps
isn't a player and I don't think that this fact will change soon. So,
we're forced to map something to Topic Maps (TMDM/TMRM) and we
shouldn't expect that we'd we popular.

Why are CTM/AsTMa= templates popular? Because you can think of
triples. You can think of subject has-some-relationship-with object.
Users want: subject has-relationship other-subject. That's RDF.
Simple, effective. Not necessarily the perfect solution, but a
*working* solution.

Best regards,
Lars
