Maiana February Release

Dear all,

recently the Maiana team from the Topic Maps Lab released the first 2011 
version of Maiana [2]. After forgoing the January release because of 
open issues we are now presenting Maiana in a partly new design – 
including pagination and catchy boxes. Most important: Maiana switched 
to TMQL4J v. 3.1.0-SNAPSHOT supporting the draft of 2008.

* New design: Check out our fresh new design to present data in a topic 
map (e.g. the Opera Topic Map [3]). Do you like it? We also extended the 
‘Overview’ box to summarize every action available to the topic map. 
Last but not least, we added pagination to avoid long load time and 
vertical scrolling.

* New TMQL4J version: We now run on TMQL4J v. 3.1.0-SNAPSHOT (see TMQL4J 
3.0.0 Release News for more information [4]). Currently, only queries 
compliant to the TMQL draft of 2008 are supported.

* Donating queries: TMQL and SPARQL queries which until now could only 
be used privately may now be set public. Thus enabling sharing of 
queries or simply promoting a interesting query result. An overview of 
queries may be found on the users corresponding profile page.

* Syntax Highlighting of TMQL Queries: And because reading queries is 
difficult as it is we now use syntax highlighting displaying queries and 
even some autocompletion (try typing “FOR”)

* “More about this subject”: To enhance the browsing experience we now 
look up additional information whilst visiting a topic page. This 
expands our use of the Semantic Search to also show topics available in 
visible maps on Maiana and even providing similarity information (see 
example in Opera [5]).

* Maiana Search Provider: Do you like using your browsers search field? 
Try adding Maiana as a search provider and find more, faster!

If you are interested in getting contact with the Maiana team please 
visit us at the CeBIT 2011 next week. We will be there at Hall 5, Stand 
E02!

Greetings from the Practical Semantics seminar in Utrecht [6],
