New guide to XML Topic Maps for Knowledge Management

摘要

LIKE AN EXPLOSION in a mattress factory, "fluff all over the place", information stored within your organisation can be spread far and historically wide. Locating relevant content that is also contextually related to other sources can be extremely difficult. Traditional full-content indexing and search engines often result in information overload. A new SAI Global publication, XML Topic Maps for Knowledge Management, can assist both the novice and expert. It walks the reader through the issues of information overload and details a new method of indexing that will improve an organisation's ability to access material that is relevant and help to preserve organisational memory. The publication is divided into four parts: a general introduction, a non-technical and technical view and the evolution/future of topic maps.
