      "The Topic Map Graph: The technical basis of XML Topic Maps"
      
       XML Topic Maps are an emerging standard for global knowledge 
       interchange (aka "the Semantic Web").  After a brief discussion 
       of topic maps (what they are, what they are good for), and a 
       brief discussion of the state of play in the topic map standards 
       arena (who's doing what, and why), the presentation will focus on
       the best current proposal for ensuring the reliable interchange 
       of knowledge with topic maps: the Topic Map Graph, released 
       in draft at XML 2000. An engine that demonstrates how the 
       graph may be visualized, traversed, and queried will be demonstrated.
