Dear members of NGC4LIB and Diglib,
I recently posted a request for information on applications of * Topic Maps
(ISO/IEC 13250) *for memory institutions and digital libraries in the field
of Digital Humanities. I am sending a new list with some of your
suggestions, not all of them because some corresponded to digital libraries,
catalogs, or other kinds of maps or services that were not actual
applications of Topic Maps. I am very thankful for all your suggestions and
I would appreciate any other additional reference.
