=head1 NAME
XTM - Topic Map, base distribution
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use XTM;
$tm = new XTM; # creating an empty map
# reading a topic map description from an XML file
use XTM::XML;
$tm = new XTM (tie => new XTM::XML (file => 'mymap.tm'));
# application specific persistent medium
$tm = new XTM (tie => new XTM::Application::MineMineMine);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Topic Maps are a means for layering multidimensional topic spaces on top of
information assets. The standard covers concepts like topics,
associations, scopes and occurrences. Topic Maps are
expected to have a major impact on future information systems and compete
with RDF in the semantic web arena.
See http://www.topicmaps.org/xtm/1.0/ for more information.
Topic maps can be loaded from an XML based resource (local or remote
via an URL) as prescribed by the XTM standard. There is also a way
to tie a map to any persistent medium. The latter is especially interesting
when running this module along with a (web) server.
=head1 PROGRAMS
Following programs come with this distribution:
=over 4
=item L<xtm>.pl
A simple text interface to load & query topic maps locally.
=item L<astma2xtm>.pl
An AsTMa= to XTM converter.
=item L<prettifyxtm>.pl
A filter which formats any incoming XTM stream into a nested XML document.
