Hi Andriy,
That's some pretty cool stuff. With both Microsoft and Apple making
document search functionality the core of their upcoming OS releases
(Longhorn and Tiger), and at least Apple focusing on document metadata
indexing, I can see how such technologies can become big in the coming
years. I wonder how many people/companies already use Topic Maps and
TM4J? And what exactly this is used for other than book index creation?
As unlike other search technologies, topic map creation seems like a
very involved non-automated process... Also there is lots of developers
on the project, but not too many downloads...
It is kind of hard to jump on Cayenne/TM4J integration right away, but
this is something that should definitely be kept in mind as a practical
solution for the cataloging problems.
