Is there any intention to do a project on knowledge management within the ASF? How about doing something on Topic Maps using them to deliver an additional semantic layer to web applications using them for: - Navigation through the huge amount of information - Finding and accessing relevant information quick and easy by filtering (maybe moddeling security in it?) I am thinking about writing my diploma thesis on that and thought about evaluating Cocoon in this scope, using it as publishing system for the information and the navigation. Maybe through an avalon block the functionality to generate xlink structures that are needed to build paths to related ressources (maybe from producers) can be provided ... And ... generic search functionality on information enriched by a xml-TopicMap layer might become handy ... ? ... I am just thinking about it ... Do you think something of this does make any sense? Thanks for any feedback, Michael
