[TopicMapsInLIS] Inaugurating the list

[Stringer-Hye, Suellen]

This is why I advocate for small easily implemented Topic Map
applications  that illustrate to librarians the power of Topic Maps.
Otherwise, for all the reasons stated by Alex and several more, there
will not be a widespread understanding of what needs to happen to
library data. Librarians don't have much time to do R&D and they usually
grab whatever solution gets them somewhere fast (in the short term) and
has a proven track record and basically "works". So far neither XTM or
RDF are not in that category.

*********************************
AJ: Librarians knows quite a bit about ontologies and ontology work, and
what tools and what technology they use for that really doesn't
matter. What matters is trying to get them from looking at it to doing
it in any meaningful way, and I haven't seen any moves in that
direction. Nor do I suspect there will be any, either, but that's a
rant for another day. :)


regards,

Alex
